Is It Time For 2015 Lincoln MKT Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2015 Lincoln MKT, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your MKT jolts, pulls 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 2015 Lincoln MKT in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 dampeners, coil 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 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 your MKT steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lincoln MKT Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2015 Lincoln MKT’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2015 Lincoln MKT 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 could all be indicators of worn Lincoln MKT shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2015 Lincoln MKT’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2015 Lincoln MKT Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my MKT'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 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 MKT get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Lincoln intended.
  • Does my Lincoln MKT power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your MKT is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Lincoln's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Lincoln MKT bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your MKT 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 MKT's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your MKT 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 MKT are bad? Worn MKT shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your MKT might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your MKT shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
