When To Get 2014 Ford Flex Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2014 Ford Flex, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Flex jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2014 Ford Flex in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Flex suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Ford Flex suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford Flex

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Ford Flex suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 2014 Ford Flex shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Ford Flex shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Ford Flex suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2014 Ford Flex Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford Flex? 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 the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford Flex power steering fluid checked? 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’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ford Flex to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Ford Flex might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Flex to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Flex'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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Ford Flex shocks? 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.
