Is It Time For 2010 Ford Transit Connect Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Ford Transit Connect, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Transit Connect jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2010 Ford Transit Connect 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 absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Ford Transit Connect 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.

Ford Transit Connect Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2010 Ford Transit Connect suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2010 Ford Transit Connect’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford Transit Connect shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Transit Connect’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.

2010 Transit Connect Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford Transit Connect? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford Transit Connect power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Transit Connect’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ford Transit Connect to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Ford Transit Connect might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Transit Connect tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Transit Connect'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 Connect are bad? If your Transit Connect shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Transit Connect might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
