Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Tires blow out or develop sidewall bubbling, sometimes requiring full replacement of multiple tires.
  • Some owners report the car scrapes its bumper or undercarriage entering or exiting driveways and parking lots due to low ground clearance.
  • Steering wheel vibration occurs at various speeds, including around 40 mph and 70-75 mph, with rebalancing only partially helping.
  • Front suspension parts such as struts, sway bar links, and ball joints wear out early and produce clunking noises that dealerships have trouble diagnosing.
  • Vibration and noise from the passenger side worsen as speed increases from around 15 mph up through 55 mph and beyond.
  • Lug nuts are reported as difficult or impossible to remove with the tools Ford provides, complicating tire changes on the roadside.
