When To Get 2003 Mercury Marauder Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2003 Mercury Marauder, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Marauder feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2003 Mercury Marauder 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 absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 your Mercury Marauder’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercury Marauder

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2003 Mercury Marauder suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your Mercury up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Marauder’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mercury Marauder shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Mercury Marauder’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2003 Mercury Marauder Steering & Suspension

  • 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 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 Marauder 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. 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.
  • Does my Mercury Marauder power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Marauder is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mercury service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mercury Marauder bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Marauder 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.
  • Why does my Marauder tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Marauder'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Mercury Marauder need replacing? Worn Marauder shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
