Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Transit-350 HD's steering and suspension?

Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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-350 HD 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.

When should I have my Ford Transit-350 HD power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Transit-350 HD’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.

What can cause my Ford Transit-350 HD to have a bouncy ride?

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?

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-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.

Is It Time For 2024 Ford Transit-350 HD Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2024 Ford Transit-350 HD, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Transit-350 HD jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2024 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Transit-350 HD suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford Transit-350 HD

Your 2024 Ford Transit-350 HD’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 could all be indicators of worn Ford Transit-350 HD shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2024 Ford Transit-350 HD’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.
