Is It Time For 2013 Lincoln MKX Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2013 Lincoln MKX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your MKX feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2013 Lincoln MKX, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 MKX 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 MKX Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2013 Lincoln MKX’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2013 Lincoln MKX’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Lincoln MKX shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2013 Lincoln MKX suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2013 MKX Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my MKX's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lincoln MKX? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • When does Lincoln MKX power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your MKX’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Lincoln's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Lincoln MKX to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your MKX 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my MKX to dip forward when I apply 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 do I know if I have worn Lincoln MKX shocks? Worn MKX shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your MKX might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your MKX shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
