Is It Time For 2011 Ford Taurus Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2011 Ford Taurus, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Taurus 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 2011 Ford Taurus in for suspension and steering service. 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, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Ford Taurus’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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2011 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2011 Ford Taurus’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Ford Taurus shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2011 Ford Taurus’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2011 Ford Taurus Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's 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.
  • Why should my Ford Taurus get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Ford Taurus 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 Taurus’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Ford Taurus bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • 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.
