Is It Time For 2018 Ford Fiesta Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2018 Ford Fiesta, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Fiesta 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 2018 Ford Fiesta in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Fiesta suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Ford Fiesta suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford Fiesta Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2018 Ford Fiesta’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 Ford Fiesta’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 back and forth could all be signs of worn Ford Fiesta shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Fiesta’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.

2018 Fiesta Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford Fiesta? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Ford Fiesta power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Fiesta is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Ford Fiesta bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Fiesta to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Fiesta to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Fiesta'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.
  • What do worn Ford Fiesta shocks feel like? Worn Fiesta shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Fiesta might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Fiesta shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
