When To Get 2009 Mercury Mariner Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2009 Mercury Mariner, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Mariner bounces, sways 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 2009 Mercury Mariner in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Mariner 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 Mariner Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Mercury Mariner’s suspension. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2009 Mercury Mariner’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Mercury Mariner shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Mariner’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2009 Mariner Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 help you notice when you need new 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercury Mariner? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mercury Mariner power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Mariner is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Mercury's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercury Mariner bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mercury Mariner 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 Mariner's nose dive down 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 do worn Mercury Mariner shocks feel like? Worn Mariner shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Mariner might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Mariner shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
