When To Get 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your F-350 Super Duty jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ford F-350 Super Duty’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 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 limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Ford F-350 Super Duty shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2016 F-350 Super Duty Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my F-350 Super Duty's steering and 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When does Ford F-350 Super Duty power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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 optimally.
  • What can cause my Ford F-350 Super Duty to have a bouncy ride? 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? 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? 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.
