When To Get 1984 Mercury Capri Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1984 Mercury Capri, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Capri jolts, pulls 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 1984 Mercury Capri in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mercury Capri suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mercury Capri Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1984 Mercury Capri’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercury up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Capri’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mercury Capri shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Capri’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1984 Mercury Capri Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Capri's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercury Capri? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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.
  • When does Mercury Capri 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’ll follow Mercury service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mercury Capri to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Capri to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Capri tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Capri 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Mercury Capri are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Capri feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Capri travels over minor bumps.
