Is It Time For 2016 Ford Focus Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2016 Ford Focus, 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 Focus jolts, pulls 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 2016 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Focus 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 Focus Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 Ford Focus’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Ford Focus shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Ford Focus suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2016 Ford Focus Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Focus's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford Focus? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 should I have my Ford Focus power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Ford Focus bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Focus to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Focus's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford Focus need replacing? Worn Focus shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Focus might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Focus shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
