Does Your 2015 Ford Explorer Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2015 Ford Explorer, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Explorer feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2015 Ford Explorer in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Ford Explorer suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford Explorer

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2015 Ford Explorer suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Explorer’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Ford Explorer shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2015 Ford Explorer suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2015 Explorer Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Explorer's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford Explorer? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • Does my Ford Explorer power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Explorer’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford Explorer bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Explorer to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Explorer to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Explorer's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Ford Explorer shocks feel like? If your Explorer shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Explorer might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
