FORD Truck Service FAQ
Q1: How often should I service my F-150 suspension?
Most Ford trucks benefit from an inspection every 20,000–30,000 km or sooner if you tow, haul, or drive rough roads. Any new noise, pull, or tire wear warrants a check.
Q2: Do I need an alignment after a leveling or lift kit?
Yes. Any change to ride height alters geometry. A 4-wheel alignment prevents tire wear and restores safe handling.
Q3: Which parts do you use—OEM or aftermarket?
Both. We recommend OEM for factory feel and premium aftermarket (e.g., heavy-duty ball joints, performance shocks) when you need added durability or capability.
Q4: My truck wanders on the highway—what’s the likely cause?
Common culprits include worn tie rods/ball joints, loose bushings, incorrect toe/caster, or tires out of spec. We’ll inspect and align to fix the root cause.
Q5: Can you set custom specs for towing or off-road?
Absolutely. We can target custom caster/camber/toe within safe ranges for lifted/leveled builds, towing stability, or off-road performance.
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.
