Is It Time For 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your F-350 Super Duty bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your F-350 Super Duty steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford F-350 Super Duty Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2012 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Ford F-350 Super Duty shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2012 F-350 Super Duty Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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 should my Ford F-350 Super Duty get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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? 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’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my F-350 Super Duty to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • 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.
