Is It Time For 2013 Ford Transit Connect Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2013 Ford Transit Connect, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Transit Connect feels bouncy, 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 2013 Ford Transit Connect in for steering and suspension services. 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, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Transit Connect suspension system needs repair, 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 Connect 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 Connect Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2013 Ford Transit Connect’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2013 Ford Transit Connect’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Ford Transit Connect shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2013 Ford Transit Connect suspension 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.

2013 Transit Connect 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.
  • Why should my Ford Transit Connect get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford Transit Connect power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Transit Connect’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Ford Transit Connect bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Transit Connect to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Transit Connect front end dip forward when I brake? 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? 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.
