FORD Truck Service FAQ

Q1: How often should I inspect my Ford’s suspension?
A: Have it inspected annually or every 20,000–25,000 km, and anytime you notice noise, pull, uneven tire wear, or after hitting a major pothole/curb.

Q2: Do I need an alignment after a level or lift?
A: Yes. Any change to ride height alters caster/camber and toe. A proper 4-wheel alignment prevents premature tire wear and restores safe handling.

Q3: Which parts typically wear on F-150 and Ranger?
A: Common wear items include ball joints, control-arm bushings, tie-rod ends, and front hub assemblies. Shocks/struts often soften by 80–120k km.

Q4: Can you fix steering wander or bump-steer?
A: Yes. We address caster settings, track bar geometry, tie-rod angle, and tire pressures, and replace worn steering components as needed.

Q5: Do you use OE or upgraded parts?
A: Both. We’ll recommend OE-equivalent for daily use or upgrades (e.g., Bilstein) for towing, off-road, or performance goals—always with warranty coverage.
