When To Get 1990 Ford F-150 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1990 Ford F-150, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your F-150 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1990 Ford F-150 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 F-150 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford F-150 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 Ford F-150 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1990 Ford F-150’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Ford F-150 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your F-150’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 F-150 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my F-150's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford F-150? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Ford F-150 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your F-150’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Ford F-150 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 F-150 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my F-150 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your F-150'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 F-150 are bad? Worn F-150 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your F-150 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your F-150 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
