Does Your 1989 Mercury Colony Park Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1989 Mercury Colony Park, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Colony Park jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1989 Mercury Colony Park, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Colony Park steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercury Colony Park Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1989 Mercury Colony Park suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Colony Park’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercury Colony Park shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Mercury Colony Park’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1989 Colony Park Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercury'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. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercury Colony Park? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mercury Colony Park power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Colony Park’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercury's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mercury Colony Park 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 Colony Park to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Colony Park front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Colony Park's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercury Colony Park are bad? Worn Colony Park shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Colony Park might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Colony Park shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
