When To Get 2001 Lincoln Town Car Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2001 Lincoln Town Car, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Town Car jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2001 Lincoln Town Car in for steering and suspension services. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle 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 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 recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lincoln Town Car Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2001 Lincoln Town Car’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Town Car’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Lincoln Town Car shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Town Car’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.

2001 Town Car Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Lincoln's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 Town Car? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Lincoln Town Car 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 Town Car is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Lincoln's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Lincoln Town Car bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Town Car 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 Town Car tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Town Car combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Lincoln Town Car shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Town Car feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Town Car travels over minor bumps.
