Does Your 1993 Ford Thunderbird Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1993 Ford Thunderbird, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Thunderbird jolts, leans 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 1993 Ford Thunderbird in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Thunderbird suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Thunderbird 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford Thunderbird

Your 1993 Ford Thunderbird’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 1993 Ford Thunderbird shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Ford Thunderbird shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Thunderbird’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1993 Ford Thunderbird Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Thunderbird's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 Thunderbird? 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 the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford Thunderbird power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Thunderbird is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Ford Thunderbird 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 Thunderbird to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Thunderbird's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Thunderbird'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 Thunderbird shocks? If your Thunderbird shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Thunderbird might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
