Is It Time For 1984 Mercury Lynx Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1984 Mercury Lynx, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Lynx feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1984 Mercury Lynx in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Lynx suspension system needs repair, 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 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1984 Mercury Lynx suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 Lynx’s shocks and struts 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 Lynx shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Lynx’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1984 Lynx Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Lynx's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercury intended.
  • When does Mercury Lynx power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Lynx’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mercury's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mercury Lynx to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Mercury Lynx 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 Lynx tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Lynx'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.
  • What do worn Mercury Lynx shocks feel like? Worn Lynx shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Lynx might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Lynx shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
