Is It Time For 2010 Ford Flex Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2010 Ford Flex, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Flex jolts, sways 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 2010 Ford Flex in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2010 Ford Flex’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Flex’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Ford Flex shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Flex’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2010 Flex Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford Flex? 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 Flex power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Flex is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Ford Flex bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • 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 do worn Ford Flex shocks feel like? Worn Flex shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Flex might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Flex shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
