Is It Time For 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your F-350 Super Duty feels bouncy, pulls 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 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford F-350 Super Duty Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, 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 2006 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.

2006 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 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? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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-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 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford F-350 Super Duty bouncing excessively? 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's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your F-350 Super Duty'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 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.
