When To Get 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis, 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 Grand Marquis bounces, leans 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 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Grand Marquis suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Grand Marquis steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mercury Grand Marquis Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis suspension system. 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 getting your 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mercury Grand Marquis shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1983 Grand Marquis Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercury's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercury Grand Marquis? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercury intended.
  • Does my Mercury Grand Marquis 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Mercury's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercury Grand Marquis bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Mercury Grand Marquis 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Grand Marquis to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Grand Marquis 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 do worn Mercury Grand Marquis shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Grand Marquis feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Grand Marquis travels over minor bumps.
