Is It Time For 1983 Mercury Marquis Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1983 Mercury Marquis, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Marquis bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1983 Mercury Marquis in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Marquis suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mercury Marquis’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 Marquis Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1983 Mercury Marquis’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1983 Mercury Marquis’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mercury Marquis shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Marquis’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.

1983 Marquis Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercury's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 Marquis? 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 Marquis power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Marquis is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mercury service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercury Marquis bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Marquis to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Marquis front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Marquis'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercury Marquis are bad? Worn Marquis 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.
