Suspension and steering parts for the Transit Custom MK3

Important components of the suspension and steering system in the 2024 Transit Custom

The suspension and steering system of the Transit Custom MK3 comprises several key components:

Wishbones: Connect the vehicle frame to the wheels, allowing controlled movements and maintaining axle geometry.
Shock absorbers: Dampen road bumps, ensure a smooth ride and improve vehicle stability.
Leaf springs: Support the vehicle weight and absorb road shocks, which is particularly important for commercial vehicles with heavy loads.
Ball joints: Serve as pivot points between the control arms and steering knuckles and enable smooth movement of the steering and suspension.
Track rod ends: Connect the steering rod to the steering knuckles and transmit the steering movements to the wheels.
Stabilisers: Reduce body roll when cornering and improve driving stability.

Leaf springs in the 2024 Transit Custom

The 2024 Ford Transit Custom MK3 uses leaf springs in the rear axle to ensure the vehicle's stability and load-bearing capacity. These springs help to keep the vehicle height constant even with changing loads. Over time, leaf springs can wear out or sag due to heavy loads. Replacing or upgrading the leaf springs can significantly improve ride quality and handling, especially with intensive use. Regular inspections are advisable to detect early signs of material fatigue or damage.

Tie rod end replacement interval

Tie rod ends are essential components of the steering system and ensure precise control and tracking. Under normal conditions, the tie rod ends of the Transit Custom MK3 last between 80,000 and 160,000 km. However, factors such as driving style, road conditions and weather influences can affect the service life. An inspection every 24,000 km is recommended in order to recognise signs of wear such as play or damage at an early stage. Timely replacement ensures precise steering and prevents uneven tyre wear.

Maintenance recommendations for the suspension and steering system

The following measures should be observed to ensure the longevity and optimum performance of the suspension and steering system in the Transit Custom MK3:

Regular inspections: Check all components for wear, corrosion or damage.
Early replacement: Replace defective or worn parts in good time to avoid consequential damage and safety risks.
Tracking and wheel alignment: Regularly check and adjust the axle geometry to improve driving stability and tyre life.
Lubrication: Lubricate moving parts according to the manufacturer's instructions to reduce friction and wear.

These maintenance measures maintain the comfort, steering precision and safety of the 2024 Transit Custom and keep the vehicle reliable in use. Less text
