When To Get 1995 Ford Thunderbird Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1995 Ford Thunderbird, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Thunderbird jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1995 Ford Thunderbird 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ford Thunderbird’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 Thunderbird Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1995 Ford Thunderbird’s suspension. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Thunderbird’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Ford Thunderbird shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1995 Ford Thunderbird’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1995 Ford Thunderbird Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 Thunderbird? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 Thunderbird power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Thunderbird’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford Thunderbird bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Ford Thunderbird 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.
  • Why does my Thunderbird front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Thunderbird when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • 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.
