Does Your 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 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. Maybe your F-250 Super Duty bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford F-250 Super Duty Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Ford F-250 Super Duty shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my F-250 Super Duty's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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-250 Super Duty? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • Does my Ford F-250 Super Duty 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-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 does my Ford F-250 Super Duty bounce 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-250 Super Duty to bounce more than usual.
  • 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford F-250 Super Duty need replacing? If your F-250 Super Duty shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your F-250 Super Duty might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
