When To Get 1983 Mercury Lynx Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1983 Mercury Lynx, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Lynx bounces, pulls 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 1983 Mercury Lynx in for suspension and steering service. 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, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mercury Lynx’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mercury Lynx Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1983 Mercury Lynx’s suspension. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1983 Mercury Lynx’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercury Lynx shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1983 Mercury Lynx suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1983 Lynx Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Lynx's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 Lynx? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mercury Lynx power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Lynx’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercury's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercury Lynx bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Lynx to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Lynx front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Lynx when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mercury Lynx shocks? If your Lynx shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Lynx might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
