When To Get 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. 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 trouble is the best time to bring your 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, 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 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 an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercury Grand Marquis

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mercury Grand Marquis shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2004 Grand Marquis Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Grand Marquis's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 should my Mercury Grand Marquis get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Mercury intended.
  • Does my Mercury Grand Marquis power steering fluid need to be 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 top it off per Mercury's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • 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? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercury Grand Marquis need replacing? 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.
