Is It Time For 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII, 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 Mark VIII jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, 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 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

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Lincoln Mark VIII shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII Steering & Suspension

  • 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 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lincoln Mark VIII? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 is my Lincoln Mark VIII bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Mark VIII goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Mark VIII tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Mark VIII'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 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.
