When To Get 2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your F-350 Super Duty jolts, drifts 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 2001 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, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Ford F-350 Super Duty’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford F-350 Super Duty Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty’s suspension. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your F-350 Super Duty’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Ford F-350 Super Duty shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty suspension 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.

2001 F-350 Super Duty Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my F-350 Super Duty's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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-350 Super Duty? 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.
  • Does my Ford F-350 Super Duty power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Ford F-350 Super Duty to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Ford F-350 Super Duty might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my F-350 Super Duty's nose dive down 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford F-350 Super Duty are bad? If your F-350 Super Duty shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your F-350 Super Duty might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
