Is It Time For 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your F-250 Super Duty feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Ford F-250 Super Duty suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford F-250 Super Duty Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty suspension system. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your F-250 Super Duty’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Ford F-250 Super Duty shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty 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.

2008 F-250 Super Duty Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my F-250 Super Duty's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Ford F-250 Super Duty 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 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? 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 top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Ford F-250 Super Duty bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my F-250 Super Duty front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your F-250 Super Duty 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.
  • What do worn Ford F-250 Super Duty shocks feel like? 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.
