Is It Time For 1984 Ford F-250 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1984 Ford F-250, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your F-250 bounces, leans 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 1984 Ford F-250, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Ford F-250’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 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’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Ford F-250 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1984 Ford F-250’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1984 F-250 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford F-250 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your F-250’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Ford F-250 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your F-250 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my F-250 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your F-250's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford F-250 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your F-250 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your F-250 travels over minor bumps.
