When To Get 1993 Mercury Capri Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1993 Mercury Capri, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Capri bounces, 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 1993 Mercury Capri in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Capri 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 Mercury Capri’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.

Mercury Capri Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1993 Mercury Capri suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercury up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1993 Mercury Capri shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercury Capri shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Capri’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1993 Capri Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Capri's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercury Capri? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercury intended.
  • When should I have my Mercury Capri power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Mercury's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • 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 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Capri 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 Mercury Capri need replacing? 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.
