Does Your 1985 Lincoln Mark VII Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1985 Lincoln Mark VII, 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. Perhaps your Mark VII feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1985 Lincoln Mark VII in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Lincoln Mark VII suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lincoln Mark VII Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1985 Lincoln Mark VII’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Lincoln up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Lincoln Mark VII shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Lincoln Mark VII shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1985 Lincoln Mark VII suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1985 Lincoln Mark VII Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Lincoln's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Lincoln Mark VII get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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.
  • Does my Lincoln Mark VII power steering fluid need to be 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 smoothly.
  • Why is my Lincoln Mark VII bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Mark VII to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Mark VII's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Mark VII 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Lincoln Mark VII shocks? Worn Mark VII shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Mark VII might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Mark VII shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
