Does Your 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2005 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, sways 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 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford F-350 Super Duty Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty’s suspension. 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 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. 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. It’s a good idea to have your 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2005 F-350 Super Duty Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire 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? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Ford F-350 Super Duty bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my F-350 Super Duty front end dip forward when I brake? 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 do worn Ford F-350 Super Duty shocks feel like? 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.
