When To Get 1989 Ford F-250 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1989 Ford F-250, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your F-250 jolts, pulls 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 1989 Ford F-250 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your F-250 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your F-250 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford F-250 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1989 Ford F-250 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1989 Ford F-250’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Ford F-250 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1989 Ford F-250 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 1989 Ford F-250 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford F-250? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford F-250 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your F-250’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Ford F-250 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 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my F-250 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Ford F-250 shocks? Worn F-250 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.
