When To Get 1990 Ford Probe Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1990 Ford Probe, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Probe feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1990 Ford Probe 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 check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper 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 parts of your Ford Probe 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.

Ford Probe Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 Ford Probe’s suspension. 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 getting your 1990 Ford Probe’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Ford Probe shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Probe’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1990 Ford Probe Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Probe's steering and 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 Probe? 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 should I have my Ford Probe power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Probe’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford Probe bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Probe goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Probe to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Probe combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford Probe need replacing? Worn Probe shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Probe might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Probe shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
