Does Your 2003 Lincoln Aviator Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2003 Lincoln Aviator, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Aviator bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2003 Lincoln Aviator in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Aviator suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Aviator steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lincoln Aviator Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2003 Lincoln Aviator’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2003 Lincoln Aviator’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Lincoln Aviator shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Aviator’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2003 Lincoln Aviator Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lincoln's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lincoln Aviator? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Lincoln Aviator power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Lincoln's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Lincoln Aviator to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Aviator to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Aviator's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Aviator combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Lincoln Aviator need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Aviator feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Aviator travels over minor bumps.
