Does Your 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your LTD Crown Victoria feels bouncy, leans 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 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria, bring it 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, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your LTD Crown Victoria suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Ford LTD Crown Victoria’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford LTD Crown Victoria

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Ford LTD Crown Victoria shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1987 LTD Crown Victoria Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford LTD Crown Victoria? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • Does my Ford LTD Crown Victoria 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 LTD Crown Victoria is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Ford LTD Crown Victoria 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 LTD Crown Victoria's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your LTD Crown Victoria 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 do worn Ford LTD Crown Victoria shocks feel like? Worn LTD Crown Victoria shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your LTD Crown Victoria might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your LTD Crown Victoria shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
