Is It Time For 1992 Mercury Cougar Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1992 Mercury Cougar, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Cougar bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1992 Mercury Cougar in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mercury Cougar’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mercury Cougar Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1992 Mercury Cougar’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1992 Mercury Cougar shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mercury Cougar shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1992 Mercury Cougar’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1992 Cougar Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercury's 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 should my Mercury Cougar get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercury intended.
  • When should I have my Mercury Cougar power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Cougar’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mercury service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Mercury Cougar to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Mercury Cougar might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Cougar front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Cougar 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 Mercury Cougar shocks? Worn Cougar shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Cougar might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Cougar shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
