Is It Time For 2014 Lincoln MKX Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2014 Lincoln MKX, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your MKX feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2014 Lincoln MKX 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your MKX suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Lincoln MKX’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lincoln MKX

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Lincoln MKX suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2014 Lincoln MKX’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Lincoln MKX shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your MKX’s 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.

2014 MKX Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my MKX'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 MKX? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 MKX 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 MKX is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Lincoln's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Lincoln MKX bouncing excessively? 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.
  • Why does my MKX's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your MKX'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 do I know if I have worn Lincoln MKX shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your MKX feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your MKX travels over minor bumps.
