Does Your 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Grand Marquis feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercury Grand Marquis Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis suspension system. 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 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. 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 2006 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.

2006 Grand Marquis Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercury's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Mercury's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercury Grand Marquis bouncing 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mercury Grand Marquis shocks? 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.
