Is It Time For 1991 Ford Tempo Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1991 Ford Tempo, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Tempo bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1991 Ford Tempo 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Ford Tempo’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 Tempo Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Ford Tempo’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1991 Ford Tempo shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Ford Tempo shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Tempo’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1991 Tempo Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 Tempo? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • Does my Ford Tempo 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 Tempo is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ford Tempo to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Ford Tempo 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Tempo to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Ford Tempo shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Tempo feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Tempo travels over minor bumps.
