Does Your 2014 Ford Focus Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2014 Ford Focus, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Focus feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2014 Ford Focus in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Focus suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Ford Focus suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford Focus

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2014 Ford Focus’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Focus’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Ford Focus shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2014 Ford Focus’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 Focus Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 Focus? 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.
  • 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 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Ford Focus bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Ford Focus 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 Focus to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Focus when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Ford Focus shocks? 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.
