When To Get 1998 Lincoln Navigator Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1998 Lincoln Navigator, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Navigator jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1998 Lincoln Navigator in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 your Lincoln Navigator’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 Navigator Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1998 Lincoln Navigator’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1998 Lincoln Navigator shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Lincoln Navigator shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1998 Lincoln Navigator suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1998 Navigator Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Lincoln's 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lincoln Navigator? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Lincoln Navigator power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Navigator’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Lincoln's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Lincoln Navigator bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Lincoln Navigator 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.
  • Why does my Navigator's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Navigator 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Lincoln Navigator need replacing? If your Navigator shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Navigator might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
