Is It Time For 2003 Ford Taurus Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2003 Ford Taurus, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Taurus bounces, pulls 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 2003 Ford Taurus, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Taurus suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ford Taurus’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford Taurus Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2003 Ford Taurus’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. 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 getting your 2003 Ford Taurus’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Ford Taurus shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2003 Ford Taurus suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2003 Taurus Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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? 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.
  • Does my Ford Taurus power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Taurus’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Ford Taurus bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Ford Taurus 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 Taurus front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Taurus's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Ford Taurus shocks feel like? Worn Taurus shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Taurus might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Taurus shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
