Does Your 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your F-350 Super Duty feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle 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 your F-350 Super Duty steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford F-350 Super Duty Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty suspension system. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford F-350 Super Duty shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 F-350 Super Duty Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your 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? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your F-350 Super Duty’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Ford F-350 Super Duty bounce 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'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford F-350 Super Duty need replacing? Worn F-350 Super Duty shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your F-350 Super Duty might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your F-350 Super Duty shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
