When To Get 2016 Ford Transit-350 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2016 Ford Transit-350, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Transit-350 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2016 Ford Transit-350, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Ford Transit-350 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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

Your 2016 Ford Transit-350’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 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-350’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Ford Transit-350 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Ford Transit-350’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2016 Transit-350 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford Transit-350? 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 does Ford Transit-350 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Transit-350’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Ford Transit-350 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Transit-350 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Transit-350 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Transit-350 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford Transit-350 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Transit-350 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Transit-350 travels over minor bumps.
