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

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford Ranger?

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 Ranger power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Ranger is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why does my Ford Ranger bounce so much?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Ranger 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.

Why does my Ranger tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

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.

What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford Ranger need replacing?

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.

Is It Time For 2023 Ford Ranger Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2023 Ford Ranger, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Ranger jolts, drifts 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 2023 Ford Ranger, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Ranger steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford Ranger Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2023 Ford Ranger’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2023 Ford Ranger shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford Ranger shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2023 Ford Ranger’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.
