Is It Time For 1999 Lincoln Continental Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1999 Lincoln Continental, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Continental feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 Lincoln Continental, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. 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 parts of your Lincoln Continental suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lincoln Continental

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Lincoln Continental’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Lincoln up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Lincoln Continental shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Lincoln Continental shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Continental’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 Continental Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lincoln's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Lincoln Continental get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Lincoln intended.
  • When should I have my Lincoln Continental power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Continental is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Lincoln's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Lincoln Continental bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Continental to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Continental to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Continental when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Lincoln Continental need replacing? Worn Continental shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Continental might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Continental shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
