Is It Time For 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Grand Marquis feels bouncy, drifts 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 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel 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 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 an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercury Grand Marquis Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2001 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mercury Grand Marquis shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2001 Grand Marquis Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercury's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few 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.
  • Why is my Mercury Grand Marquis bouncing so much? 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.
  • 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercury Grand Marquis are bad? 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.
