What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension?

Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Mustang?

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.

When should I have my Ford Mustang power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Mustang is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why does my Ford Mustang bounce so much?

Excessive bouncing in your Ford Mustang might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.

What can cause the front end of my Mustang to dip forward when I apply 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.

What do worn Ford Mustang shocks feel like?

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.

When To Get 2024 Ford Mustang Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2024 Ford Mustang, 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. Perhaps your Mustang feels bouncy, sways 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 2024 Ford Mustang, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Mustang suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford Mustang

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2024 Ford Mustang suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2024 Ford Mustang shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Ford Mustang shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2024 Ford Mustang’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
