Is It Time For 1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty, 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-350 Super Duty jolts, leans 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 1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your F-350 Super Duty suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Ford F-350 Super Duty suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford F-350 Super Duty Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Ford F-350 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. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Ford F-350 Super Duty shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 F-350 Super Duty Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my F-350 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford F-350 Super Duty? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford F-350 Super Duty power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your F-350 Super Duty’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Ford F-350 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-350 Super Duty to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my F-350 Super Duty tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your F-350 Super Duty when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn Ford F-350 Super Duty shocks feel like? Worn F-350 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.
