Is It Time For 2010 Mercury Mariner Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Mercury Mariner, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Mariner jolts, drifts 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 2010 Mercury Mariner 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, 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 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2010 Mercury Mariner suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2010 Mercury Mariner shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation 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. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2010 Mercury Mariner Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercury intended.
  • When should I have my Mercury Mariner power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Mariner is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercury's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Mercury Mariner to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Mariner tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Mariner'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 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.
