Is It Time For 2019 Ford Explorer Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2019 Ford Explorer, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Explorer bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2019 Ford Explorer, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Explorer suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Ford Explorer suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford Explorer Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2019 Ford Explorer’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2019 Ford Explorer’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford Explorer shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2019 Ford Explorer’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2019 Ford Explorer Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Ford Explorer get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford Explorer power steering fluid 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 follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Ford Explorer to have a bouncy ride? 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.
  • Why does my Explorer front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford Explorer are bad? Worn Explorer shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Explorer might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Explorer shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
