Is It Time For 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Mark VIII jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII, 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, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Mark VIII 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 Mark VIII 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 VIII Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Mark VIII’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Lincoln Mark VIII shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1993 Mark VIII Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Mark VIII's steering and 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lincoln Mark VIII? 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 Mark VIII 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 follow Lincoln service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Lincoln Mark VIII bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Lincoln Mark VIII might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Mark VIII tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Mark VIII 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Lincoln Mark VIII are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Mark VIII feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Mark VIII travels over minor bumps.
