Does Your 2009 Ford Fusion Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2009 Ford Fusion, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Fusion bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2009 Ford Fusion, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 Ford Fusion’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, 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 Fusion

Your 2009 Ford Fusion’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 2009 Ford Fusion shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Ford Fusion shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Fusion’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2009 Fusion Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 Fusion? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • When does Ford Fusion power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Fusion is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Ford Fusion to have a bouncy ride? 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 Fusion front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Fusion'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 Fusion shocks? Worn Fusion shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Fusion might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Fusion shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
