Does Your 2008 Ford Taurus Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2008 Ford Taurus, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Taurus 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 2008 Ford Taurus in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Taurus steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford Taurus Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 Ford Taurus 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2008 Ford Taurus’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford Taurus shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2008 Ford Taurus’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2008 Ford Taurus Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Taurus's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford Taurus? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 Taurus power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Taurus is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford Taurus 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 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Taurus tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Taurus 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 do I know if I have worn Ford Taurus shocks? Worn Taurus shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
