Is It Time For 2009 Ford Taurus X Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2009 Ford Taurus X, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Taurus X jolts, 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 2009 Ford Taurus X in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel 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 your Ford Taurus X’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.

Ford Taurus X Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Ford Taurus X suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2009 Ford Taurus X shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Ford Taurus X shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Ford Taurus X suspension 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.

2009 Taurus X Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 Taurus X? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When does Ford Taurus X power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Taurus X is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Ford Taurus X bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Taurus X to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Taurus X front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Taurus X 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Ford Taurus X need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Taurus X feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Taurus X travels over minor bumps.
