Does Your 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your F-250 Super Duty bounces, sways 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 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your F-250 Super Duty steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 F-250 Super Duty

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 F-250 Super Duty’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Ford F-250 Super Duty shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your F-250 Super Duty’s 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.

Questions About 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty 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 help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford F-250 Super Duty? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Ford F-250 Super Duty power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your F-250 Super Duty is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford F-250 Super Duty bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your F-250 Super Duty goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my F-250 Super Duty tilt forward 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Ford F-250 Super Duty are bad? Worn F-250 Super Duty shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your F-250 Super Duty might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your F-250 Super Duty shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
