When To Get 2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your F-350 Super Duty bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford F-350 Super Duty

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Ford F-350 Super Duty shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2003 F-350 Super Duty Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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-350 Super Duty? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 does Ford F-350 Super Duty power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your F-350 Super Duty is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ford F-350 Super Duty 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-350 Super Duty to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my F-350 Super Duty tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your F-350 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford F-350 Super Duty need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your F-350 Super Duty feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your F-350 Super Duty travels over minor bumps.
