Does Your 1983 Mercury LN7 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1983 Mercury LN7, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your LN7 jolts, 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 1983 Mercury LN7 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, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 LN7’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.

Mercury LN7 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1983 Mercury LN7’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 LN7’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mercury LN7 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1983 Mercury LN7 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1983 LN7 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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.
  • Why should my Mercury LN7 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercury intended.
  • When should I have my Mercury LN7 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your LN7 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mercury service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Mercury LN7 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mercury LN7 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.
  • Why does my LN7's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your LN7 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 do I know if I have worn Mercury LN7 shocks? Worn LN7 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your LN7 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your LN7 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
