What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Why should my Ford F-150 Lightning get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.

When does Ford F-150 Lightning power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why is my Ford F-150 Lightning bouncing excessively?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your F-150 Lightning to bounce more than usual.

Why does my F-150 Lightning's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.

How do I know if I have worn Ford F-150 Lightning shocks?

Worn F-150 Lightning shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.

Ford F-150 Lightning Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly.
