FORD Truck Service FAQ
Q1: How do I know if my Ford needs a suspension repair or just an alignment?
A: If you have play in ball joints or tie rods, leaking shocks, or worn bushings, an alignment won’t hold. We inspect first, fix worn parts, then align so it stays within spec.
Q2: I tow a trailer with my F-150—can you improve stability and tire life?
A: Yes. We tailor shocks, leaf packs, helper springs/airbags, and alignment settings for towing to cut sway, squat, and uneven wear.
Q3: Will a lift or level kit ruin my ride or tire wear?
A: Not when it’s matched with proper control arms, geometry correction, and a post-install 4-wheel alignment. We set camber/caster/toe to protect tires and handling.
Q4: Do you use OEM parts?
A: We offer OEM, OES, and premium aftermarket options. We’ll recommend the best balance of durability, performance, and value for your truck’s use.
Q5: How quickly can you diagnose suspension noises?
A: Most concerns are diagnosed the same day with a road test and digital inspection. You’ll get photos/video and a clear plan before any work proceeds.
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.
