Your vehicle’s suspension system is designed to smooth out the bumps while you drive, keeping your ride comfortable, your handling and control secured, and your front end in good alignment. An important part of your suspension system are your Ford F350 shocks. You will find your shocks mounted with your coil springs on your vehicle’s undercarriage.

F350 shocks consist of a tube and a piston that expands and collapses with the up-and-down motion of your vehicle to absorb road shocks and dampen spring oscillation (bouncing). One of the characteristics of your Ford F350 shocks that helps keep your ride smooth is that they are velocity sensitive--which means the faster the piston slides in and out of the tube, the more resistance your shocks will put out.

When you are driving over rough roads, your shocks will tighten against movement so that your vehicle cabin remains as smooth as possible and does not bounce all over the place. When spring oscillation is not controlled by your F350 shocks, your tires can lose contact with the pavement and decrease your handling capabilities as well as your braking power. Also, worn shocks can quickly degrade your tires, causing uneven tread wear and bald spots that can leave you with a flat. If your vehicle seems to be settling low on the tires, your ride is excessively rough, or you notice leaking or dents on your Ford F350 shocks, you are likely to need a new set of shocks. Typically, shocks should be serviced or replaced every 12,000 miles.You will find a full line of high-quality, inexpensive replacement F350 shocks right here in our vast online catalogue, and you can place your order through our toll-free service number or secure and convenient online server.
