Ford Motor Company recommends that you have your shocks and struts checked at each maintenance visit. However, you may want to have a suspension system inspection done sooner if:

• Your vehicle frequently bounces.
• Your vehicle no longer handles or brakes the way it used to.
• Your tires lose their grip on the road.
• You experience audible vibration or noise.
• You see excessive or uneven tire wear.
• You see fluid leaks from your shocks or struts.
• You see dents, holes, or other damage on your shocks or struts.
