FORD Truck Service FAQ
How often should I service my Ford truck’s suspension?
Have it inspected at least annually or every 20,000–25,000 km. If you tow, carry heavy loads, or drive rough roads, shorten the interval. New noises, tire wear, or steering changes mean “inspect now.”
Do I need an alignment after replacing shocks, struts, or ball joints?
Yes—any time steering or suspension parts are changed, a 4-wheel alignment protects your tires and restores proper handling.
My F-150 is lifted/leveled—can you correct the steering feel?
Absolutely. We set caster/camber/toe for your new ride height and can recommend arms, track bar adjustments, or steering upgrades to reduce wander and bump-steer.
What’s the difference between shocks and struts on Ford trucks?
Both control spring motion and damping. Many F-series use strut assemblies up front and shocks in the rear. Worn units cause bounce, dive, and poor tire contact—replacements restore control and braking.
How much does Ford suspension repair cost?
Costs vary by components (e.g., ball joints vs. control arms) and model. We start with a diagnostic inspection, send a digital report, and provide a clear, line-item estimate before any work.
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.
