Is It Time For 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Grand Marquis bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2003 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Grand Marquis suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mercury Grand Marquis suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mercury Grand Marquis Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis suspension system. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercury up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Grand Marquis’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercury Grand Marquis shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis Steering & Suspension

  • 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 alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercury Grand Marquis? 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 come into contact with the road in the way 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 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercury's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mercury Grand Marquis to have a bouncy ride? 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? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Grand Marquis combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercury Grand Marquis are bad? 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.
