Does Your 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your LTD Crown Victoria feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Ford LTD Crown Victoria’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford LTD Crown Victoria Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Ford LTD Crown Victoria shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your LTD Crown Victoria’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1988 LTD Crown Victoria Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford LTD Crown Victoria? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Ford LTD Crown Victoria power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Ford LTD Crown Victoria bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my LTD Crown Victoria tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your LTD Crown Victoria's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford LTD Crown Victoria are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your LTD Crown Victoria feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your LTD Crown Victoria travels over minor bumps.
