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

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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-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 top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why does my Ford Transit-250 bounce 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-250 front end dip forward when I brake?

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 can I tell if the shocks on my Ford Transit-250 are bad?

Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Transit-250 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Transit-250 travels over minor bumps.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford Transit-250

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 Ford Transit-250’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 2024 Ford Transit-250’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Ford Transit-250 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2024 Ford Transit-250’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.
