Is It Time For 2024 Ford Ranger Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2024 Ford Ranger, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Ranger bounces, pulls 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 2024 Ford Ranger in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Ranger suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Ford Ranger’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 Ranger

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2024 Ford Ranger 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Ranger’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Ford Ranger shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2024 Ford Ranger suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2024 Ranger Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Ford Ranger get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • Does my Ford Ranger power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Ranger’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 Ranger bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Ford Ranger 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.
  • Why does my Ranger front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Ranger 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 Ranger are bad? Worn Ranger shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Ranger might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Ranger shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
