Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

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 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’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.

What can cause my Ford F-350 Super Duty to have a bouncy ride?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your F-350 Super Duty goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.

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.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford F-350 Super Duty are bad?

Worn F-350 Super Duty shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.

When you first bought your 2009 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. Maybe your F-350 Super Duty jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2009 Ford F-350 Super Duty 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 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.

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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Ford F-350 Super Duty’s suspension. 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. 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. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Ford F-350 Super Duty shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2009 Ford F-350 Super Duty’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
