When To Get 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Grand Marquis bounces, pulls 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 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Mercury Grand Marquis’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 Grand Marquis Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Mercury Grand Marquis shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 Grand Marquis 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 alert you to the need for new 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. 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 should I have my Mercury Grand Marquis power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Grand Marquis is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercury's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Mercury Grand Marquis to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Grand Marquis goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Grand Marquis's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mercury Grand Marquis shocks? Worn Grand Marquis shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Grand Marquis might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Grand Marquis shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
