Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Transit-150's steering and suspension?

Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.

Why should my Ford Transit-150 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.

When should I have my Ford Transit-150 power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Transit-150 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why is my Ford Transit-150 bouncing so much?

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 Transit-150's nose dive down when I hit 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 Transit-150 shocks?

Worn Transit-150 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Transit-150 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Transit-150 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

Ford Transit-150 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2020 Ford Transit-150’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Transit-150’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Ford Transit-150 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2020 Ford Transit-150’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
