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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

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. 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.

When does Ford F-250 Super Duty power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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?

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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your F-250 Super Duty combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford F-250 Super Duty are bad?

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.

Ford F-250 Super Duty Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty’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-250 Super Duty’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Ford F-250 Super Duty shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty’s 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.
