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.
Does your car dip or rock when you go over bumps or drift around corners even at low speeds?
If you answered yes, it may be time to replace your vehicle’s shocks or struts.
