Is It Time For 2008 Ford Mustang Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2008 Ford Mustang, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Mustang jolts, leans 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 2008 Ford Mustang, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Mustang 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 your Ford Mustang’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford Mustang Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 Ford Mustang suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2008 Ford Mustang shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Ford Mustang shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2008 Ford Mustang’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2008 Mustang 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 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 Mustang? 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 connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When does Ford Mustang power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Mustang is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford Mustang bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Mustang to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Mustang's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Mustang 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Ford Mustang are bad? If your Mustang shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Mustang might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
