Does Your 1985 Mercury Lynx Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1985 Mercury Lynx, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Lynx feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1985 Mercury Lynx in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mercury Lynx suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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

Your 1985 Mercury Lynx’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercury up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Mercury Lynx shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, 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. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1985 Mercury Lynx Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercury's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 Lynx get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 should I have my Mercury Lynx power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Lynx’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 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 front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercury Lynx need replacing? 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.
