Restore Your Ford's Ride & Handling at Robert Horne Ford

Is your Ford bouncing excessively over potholes on Ironwood Drive, drifting unexpectedly on the Apache Trail, or making strange noises when you turn into the Superstition Springs Center? These are common signs that your Ford's suspension and steering system might be compromised. At Robert Horne Ford, located conveniently in Apache Junction, Arizona, our dedicated service department specializes in comprehensive suspension and steering repair, ensuring your Ford maintains its legendary ride comfort, precise handling, and crucial safety on Arizona's diverse roads.

We understand that a properly functioning suspension and steering system isn't just about comfort; it's fundamental to your vehicle's safety and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ford Suspension & Steering Repair

What are the common signs my Ford needs suspension repair?

Common signs include a bouncy or rough ride, excessive body roll when turning, nose-diving during braking, uneven tire wear, clunking or squeaking noises over bumps, and a feeling of looseness or wandering in the steering. If you notice any of these, it's wise to have your Ford inspected.

How often should I have my Ford's suspension inspected?

While there's no fixed interval for suspension repair, it's a good practice to have your Ford's suspension and steering components inspected during routine maintenance appointments, such as oil changes or tire rotations. This allows our technicians to catch wear and tear early, especially given the driving conditions in and around Apache Junction.

What is the difference between shocks and struts?

Both shocks and struts dampen suspension movement, but they function differently. Shocks are individual components that only control spring oscillation. Struts, on the other hand, are a structural part of the suspension system, supporting the vehicle's weight and containing both a shock absorber and a coil spring. Many Ford vehicles use a combination of both.

What is a CV axle and why is it important?

A Constant Velocity (CV) axle transmits power from your Ford's transmission to the wheels while allowing for the up-and-down motion of the suspension and steering. If a CV axle boot tears, dirt and moisture can contaminate the joint, leading to wear and eventually a clicking noise during turns, especially common in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive Fords.

Can a bad suspension affect my Ford's alignment?

Yes, absolutely. Worn or damaged suspension components, such as ball joints, tie rods, or control arm bushings, can directly impact your Ford's wheel alignment. A misaligned vehicle can lead to uneven tire wear, poor handling, and increased fuel consumption. We always recommend checking alignment after any significant suspension repair.
