Is It Time For 1983 Lincoln Continental Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1983 Lincoln Continental, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Continental bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1983 Lincoln Continental, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Continental suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Continental steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Lincoln Continental Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1983 Lincoln Continental’s suspension. 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 1983 Lincoln Continental shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Lincoln Continental shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Lincoln Continental’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1983 Continental Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Lincoln's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Lincoln Continental get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 does Lincoln Continental power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Continental’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Lincoln's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Lincoln Continental to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my Continental to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Continental's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn Lincoln Continental shocks? If your Continental shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Continental might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
