Is It Time For 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Grand Marquis feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Grand Marquis suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Grand Marquis 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 Grand Marquis Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mercury Grand Marquis shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

1989 Grand Marquis Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercury's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercury intended.
  • When should I have my Mercury Grand Marquis power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Grand Marquis’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mercury service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Mercury Grand Marquis bounce so much? 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 momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Grand Marquis'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercury Grand Marquis need replacing? Worn Grand Marquis shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
