Does Your 2016 Ford Transit-350 HD Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2016 Ford Transit-350 HD, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Transit-350 HD jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2016 Ford Transit-350 HD in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Transit-350 HD 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.

Ford Transit-350 HD Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 Ford Transit-350 HD’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 Transit-350 HD’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Ford Transit-350 HD shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Transit-350 HD’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 Transit-350 HD Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 Transit-350 HD? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 Transit-350 HD 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 Transit-350 HD is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford Transit-350 HD bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Transit-350 HD to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Transit-350 HD's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Transit-350 HD'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 can I tell if the shocks on my Ford Transit-350 HD are bad? Worn Transit-350 HD 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.
