When To Get 2006 Mercury Mariner Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2006 Mercury Mariner, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Mariner jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2006 Mercury Mariner, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Mariner 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 Mariner’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mercury Mariner Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Mercury Mariner 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Mariner’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mercury Mariner shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Mariner’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2006 Mariner Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Mariner's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercury Mariner? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Mercury intended.
  • Does my Mercury Mariner 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 Mariner’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 Mariner bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Mariner 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 Mariner tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Mariner combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercury Mariner need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Mariner feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Mariner travels over minor bumps.
