Does Your 2009 Ford Flex Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2009 Ford Flex, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Flex bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2009 Ford Flex in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Flex 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 Flex Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Ford Flex suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2009 Ford Flex’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Ford Flex shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2009 Ford Flex’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2009 Flex Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford Flex? 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.
  • Does my Ford Flex power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Flex’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford Flex bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Flex to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Flex tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Flex 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 Flex need replacing? If your Flex shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Flex might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
