Does Your 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Grand Marquis bounces, sways 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 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis in for steering and suspension services. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mercury Grand Marquis’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercury Grand Marquis

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1997 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Grand Marquis’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mercury Grand Marquis shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1997 Grand Marquis Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Mercury Grand Marquis 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 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’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercury's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Mercury Grand Marquis to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Grand Marquis front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mercury Grand Marquis shocks? If your Grand Marquis shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Grand Marquis might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
