Is It Time For 2000 Ford Ranger Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2000 Ford Ranger, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Ranger feels bouncy, drifts 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 2000 Ford Ranger, 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, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ranger steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford Ranger Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2000 Ford Ranger suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2000 Ford Ranger shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Ford Ranger shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2000 Ford Ranger suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2000 Ford Ranger Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Ranger's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 should my Ford Ranger get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Ford Ranger power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Ranger is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ford Ranger 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 Ranger front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Ranger 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford Ranger are bad? If your Ranger 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 Ranger might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
