Your Ford vehicle uses a combination of different components and parts that function in tandem to keep your tires in contact with the road. This gives you better traction and control, as well as a smooth ride. At Downtown Ford, the trained technicians in our service department can make sure that your suspension and steering system are serviced properly so you can get back to an easy ride in no time.

How Do Suspension and Steering Systems Work?
Signs Your Suspension and Steering System Need Maintenance
If you’re wondering whether your suspension and systems might be out of whack, keep an eye out for these signs that indicate both systems might need maintenance:
- A corner of your vehicle sits lower on one corner than the others (from a broken spring)
- Bouncing, drifting or swaying while driving
- Leaking struts
- Loose steering (harder to control the direction the vehicle travels in
- Low power steering fluid level
- Squeaking noises, especially when turning the wheel or using the brakes
- The steering wheel jerks or vibrates
You can test your vehicle’s suspension easily by doing the “Bounce Test.” Lean your body on the hood of your vehicle for a few moments before quickly stepping away. If the suspension is working as it should, your vehicle will bounce back from the change in weight all at once. If it bounces twice or more, it’s likely you have an issue with your suspension.
