Does Your 2011 Ford Transit Connect Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2011 Ford Transit Connect, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Transit Connect bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2011 Ford Transit Connect in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2011 Ford Transit Connect’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2011 Ford Transit Connect’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators 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.

Questions About 2011 Ford Transit Connect Steering & Suspension

  • 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 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 Connect get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Ford Transit Connect power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Transit Connect’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Ford Transit Connect 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 Connect'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 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 do I know if I have worn Ford Transit Connect shocks? Worn Transit Connect shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Transit Connect might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Transit Connect shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
