Is It Time For 1999 Ford F-150 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1999 Ford F-150, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your F-150 jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 Ford F-150, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ford F-150’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford F-150 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Ford F-150’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your F-150’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Ford F-150 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Ford F-150 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 F-150 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford F-150? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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.
  • Does my Ford F-150 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your F-150 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Ford F-150 bouncing so much? 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's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your F-150 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Ford F-150 shocks? 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.
