Shock & Strut Replacement in Fairlawn OH
Montrose Ford Suspension Repair and Replacement
When your Ford begins to ride rough or bounce excessively, it’s often a sign that your shocks or struts are worn. At Montrose Ford in Fairlawn, OH, our factory-trained technicians provide complete shock and strut replacement services to restore balance, control, and comfort. Whether you drive a rugged F-150, a sporty Mustang, or a family-friendly Escape, we use genuine Ford parts and advanced diagnostic equipment to return your suspension to factory condition.
The suspension system absorbs road impacts and keeps your tires in consistent contact with the pavement. Over time, shocks and struts lose their ability to dampen motion, leading to longer stopping distances and uneven tire wear. Our Ford Service Department specializes in suspension care that protects your investment and enhances safety on every drive.
Signs You May Need Shock or Strut Replacement
- Vehicle nose-dives or sways while braking
- Excessive bouncing after hitting a bump
- Uneven or accelerated tire wear
- Visible fluid leaks near the shocks or struts
- Steering feels loose or unstable at highway speeds
If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a suspension inspection today. Driving with worn shocks or struts can increase braking distance by up to 20% and reduce traction during cornering or on wet roads.
Comprehensive Suspension Services
- Shock and strut inspection and testing
- Replacement with genuine Ford components

Our technicians provide detailed digital inspection reports outlining the condition of every suspension component. We can also coordinate other maintenance—such as wheel alignment or tire rotation—to ensure your Ford handles precisely as designed.
Why Replace Worn Shocks and Struts?
Beyond comfort, suspension health directly affects steering response and tire longevity. Fresh shocks and struts keep your vehicle level under braking, stabilize cornering, and minimize body roll. That stability protects systems like brakes and tires from unnecessary stress, ultimately saving you money on long-term repairs.
We recommend replacement roughly every 50,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. Potholes, heavy loads, or rough roads may accelerate wear—so regular inspection at Montrose Ford helps prevent surprises.
