When To Get 2017 Lincoln Continental Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2017 Lincoln Continental, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Continental bounces, drifts 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 2017 Lincoln Continental, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lincoln Continental

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2017 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Lincoln up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2017 Lincoln Continental’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation 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 checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2017 Continental Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lincoln Continental? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Lincoln Continental power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Continental is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Lincoln service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Lincoln Continental bounce so much? 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.
  • Why does my Continental's nose dive down when I hit 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Lincoln Continental are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Continental feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Continental travels over minor bumps.
