Does Your 1987 Mercury Lynx Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1987 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. Maybe your Lynx bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1987 Mercury Lynx in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Lynx steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 1987 Mercury Lynx suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1987 Mercury Lynx shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn 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. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 Lynx Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercury's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 Lynx get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mercury Lynx power steering fluid checked? 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 your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Mercury Lynx to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Lynx goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Lynx to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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? 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.
