Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Transit-250's steering and suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Why should my Ford Transit-250 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When should I have my Ford Transit-250 power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Transit-250’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.

What can cause my Ford Transit-250 to have a bouncy ride?

Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.

What can cause the front end of my Transit-250 to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Transit-250 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.

How do I know if I have worn Ford Transit-250 shocks?

Worn Transit-250 shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.

Does Your 2017 Ford Transit-250 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2017 Ford Transit-250, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Transit-250 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2017 Ford Transit-250 in for steering and suspension services. 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 absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Transit-250 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford Transit-250

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 Ford Transit-250 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2017 Ford Transit-250’s shocks and struts replaced 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 Transit-250 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2017 Ford Transit-250’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.
