When To Get 1986 Lincoln Town Car Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1986 Lincoln Town Car, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Town Car jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1986 Lincoln Town Car 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, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Lincoln Town Car’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.

Lincoln Town Car Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1986 Lincoln Town Car’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Lincoln up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Town Car’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Lincoln Town Car shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1986 Lincoln Town Car’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1986 Lincoln Town Car Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lincoln's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lincoln Town Car? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 does Lincoln Town Car 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 Town Car is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Lincoln service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Lincoln Town Car bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Town Car to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Town Car to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Town Car 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 Town Car are bad? If your Town Car 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 Town Car might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
