When To Get 2005 Ford Freestyle Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2005 Ford Freestyle, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Freestyle bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2005 Ford Freestyle, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Freestyle suspension system needs repair, 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 parts of your Ford Freestyle suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford Freestyle

Your 2005 Ford Freestyle’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2005 Ford Freestyle’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford Freestyle shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 Ford Freestyle suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2005 Freestyle Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 alert you to the need for 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 Freestyle? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • Does my Ford Freestyle 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 Freestyle’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford Freestyle 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 Freestyle tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Freestyle'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 Freestyle shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Freestyle feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Freestyle travels over minor bumps.
