Does Your 2014 Ford Taurus Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2014 Ford Taurus, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Taurus feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2014 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Taurus steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford Taurus Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2014 Ford Taurus’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2014 Ford Taurus shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Ford Taurus shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Ford Taurus suspension 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 2014 Ford Taurus Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire 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 inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Taurus is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Ford Taurus to have a bouncy ride? 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's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Ford Taurus shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Taurus feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Taurus travels over minor bumps.
