When To Get 2008 Lincoln MKZ Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2008 Lincoln MKZ, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your MKZ feels bouncy, leans 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 2008 Lincoln MKZ in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your MKZ suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your MKZ steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Lincoln MKZ Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 Lincoln MKZ’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2008 Lincoln MKZ shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Lincoln MKZ shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 Lincoln MKZ suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2008 MKZ Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my MKZ's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Lincoln MKZ? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Lincoln intended.
  • When does Lincoln MKZ 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Lincoln's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Lincoln MKZ bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my MKZ to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your MKZ 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.
  • What do worn Lincoln MKZ shocks feel like? Worn MKZ shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your MKZ might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your MKZ shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
