Signs that you need to replace the shocks or struts on your Ford
If the car shows excessive bounce or excessive stiffness, that could be the first sign of damaged shocks or struts. When cornering or changing lanes, if the car feels it is not in complete control or tends to sway, that is another sign. At high speeds, if the vehicle feels unstable or if the steering response is weak, you should take your car to a technician to inspect the shocks and struts.
What happens if you don't get your Ford's shocks and struts replaced on time?
If the shocks and struts are not serviced regularly, they can compromise the car's safety and performance. Shocks and struts wear out with time and use. Without properly functioning shocks and struts, the stability, handling, and stopping distance of the car can all be compromised. A trained technician can inspect if the shocks and struts need replacement before they start to malfunction during service. Having a regular service means you won't risk a malfunction while driving. It can be a severe risk to the car and the passengers.
How often should you replace the shock and struts on your Ford?
The answer to that question depends on several factors such as the make, model, and age of the car. The driving conditions also have to be considered. The car owner's manual should specify the recommendation of the manufacturer. If you don't have a manual, take your car to a certified technician, and they should be able to provide you with a more specific answer.
