FORD Truck Service FAQ
1) How often should I replace F‑150 shocks or struts?
Many owners feel a big improvement around 80,000–120,000 km, sooner with heavy towing, job‑site use, or off‑road driving. We’ll test‑drive and inspect to confirm.
2) Do I need an alignment after installing a level or lift kit?
Yes. Any change to ride height alters camber/caster/toe. A 4‑wheel digital alignment protects tires and restores straight‑line stability.
3) What are the warning signs of failing ball joints?
Clunks over bumps, vague steering, and uneven tire wear. Severely worn joints can separate—don’t wait; we inspect and provide photos/videos.
4) Can you fix rear‑end sag when I tow or haul?
Absolutely. Options include heavier‑duty leafs, helper springs, or air‑assist bags. We’ll match the solution to your typical load.
5) Do modern Fords need steering/suspension calibration after repairs?
After some repairs we perform a steering angle reset and verify ADAS alignment (lane‑keep, camera/radar aiming) where applicable.
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.
