Does Your 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1996 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 bounces, leans 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 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Lincoln Mark VIII shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII Steering & Suspension

  • 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Lincoln intended.
  • 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 can fill it per Lincoln's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Lincoln Mark VIII bounce so much? 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? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Lincoln Mark VIII are bad? Worn Mark VIII shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
