Is It Time For 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your F-250 Super Duty feels bouncy, pulls 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 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 your F-250 Super Duty steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford F-250 Super Duty Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty suspension system. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs 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 inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2012 F-250 Super Duty Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford F-250 Super Duty? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires 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? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your F-250 Super Duty’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ford F-250 Super Duty to have a bouncy ride? 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's nose dive down 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? Worn F-250 Super Duty shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
