Does Your 2000 Ford Focus Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2000 Ford Focus, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Focus jolts, drifts 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 2000 Ford Focus in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Ford Focus’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford Focus Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2000 Ford Focus’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2000 Ford Focus shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Ford Focus shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2000 Ford Focus’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2000 Ford Focus Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford Focus? 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 the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • Does my Ford Focus 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 Focus’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Ford Focus bounce so much? 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 Focus's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Focus 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 Focus shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Focus feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Focus travels over minor bumps.
