What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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.

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. 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 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations 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's nose dive down 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.

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.

Is It Time For 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your F-350 Super Duty jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford F-350 Super Duty Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2021 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 back and forth could all be indicators of worn Ford F-350 Super Duty shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty’s 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.
