Does Your 2016 Lincoln MKC Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2016 Lincoln MKC, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your MKC jolts, leans 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 2016 Lincoln MKC in for suspension and steering service. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your MKC suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Lincoln MKC’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lincoln MKC Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Lincoln MKC 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2016 Lincoln MKC shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Lincoln MKC shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Lincoln MKC 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.

2016 MKC Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 alert you to the need for 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.
  • Why should my Lincoln MKC get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Lincoln MKC power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your MKC is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Lincoln's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Lincoln MKC bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Lincoln MKC 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my MKC to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your MKC 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 MKC are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your MKC feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your MKC travels over minor bumps.
