Is It Time For 1985 Mercury Marquis Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1985 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, drifts 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 1985 Mercury Marquis in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel 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 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 Marquis’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.

Mercury Marquis Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1985 Mercury Marquis’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercury up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Mercury Marquis shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mercury Marquis shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1985 Mercury Marquis suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1985 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercury Marquis? 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 connect with the road how Mercury intended.
  • When does Mercury Marquis power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Marquis’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mercury's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercury Marquis bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mercury Marquis 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 Marquis's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Marquis when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercury Marquis need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Marquis feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Marquis travels over minor bumps.
