Is It Time For 2005 Mercury Monterey Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2005 Mercury Monterey, 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 Monterey bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2005 Mercury Monterey, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mercury Monterey’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 Monterey Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2005 Mercury Monterey suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2005 Mercury Monterey’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mercury Monterey shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 Mercury Monterey suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2005 Monterey Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercury's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Monterey? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 does Mercury Monterey power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Monterey’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercury's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mercury Monterey bouncing so much? 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 Monterey tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Monterey'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 Monterey need replacing? Worn Monterey shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Monterey might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Monterey shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
