Is It Time For 1992 Ford Festiva Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1992 Ford Festiva, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Festiva jolts, drifts 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 1992 Ford Festiva in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 your Festiva 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 Festiva Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1992 Ford Festiva’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Festiva’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Ford Festiva shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1992 Ford Festiva 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.

1992 Festiva Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Festiva's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford Festiva? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Ford Festiva power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Festiva’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ford Festiva 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Festiva to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Festiva 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 do worn Ford Festiva shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Festiva feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Festiva travels over minor bumps.
