When To Get 2016 Ford Transit Connect Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2016 Ford Transit Connect, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Transit Connect bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2016 Ford Transit Connect in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2016 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. 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 2016 Ford Transit Connect’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Ford Transit Connect shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Ford Transit Connect suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 Transit Connect Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford Transit Connect? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire 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 checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Transit Connect’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Ford Transit Connect to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my Transit Connect to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Transit Connect combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford Transit Connect are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Transit Connect feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Transit Connect travels over minor bumps.
