Does Your 2005 Ford Five Hundred Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2005 Ford Five Hundred, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Five Hundred feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2005 Ford Five Hundred in for suspension and steering service. 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, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Five Hundred suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Five Hundred steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford Five Hundred Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2005 Ford Five Hundred’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. But there's no set schedule for 2005 Ford Five Hundred shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Ford Five Hundred shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 Ford Five Hundred suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2005 Five Hundred Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Five Hundred's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford Five Hundred? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Ford Five Hundred 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 Five Hundred is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Ford Five Hundred 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 Five Hundred to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Five Hundred to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Five Hundred'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Ford Five Hundred need replacing? Worn Five Hundred shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
