Does Your 2014 Ford Transit Connect Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2014 Ford Transit Connect, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Transit Connect feels bouncy, 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 2014 Ford Transit Connect in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ford Transit Connect’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford Transit Connect Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2014 Ford Transit Connect’s suspension. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Transit Connect’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Ford Transit Connect shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Ford Transit Connect suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 Transit Connect Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Transit Connect's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 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 inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Ford Transit Connect bouncing 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Transit Connect to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford Transit Connect need replacing? 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.
