When To Get 2000 Mercury Mountaineer Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2000 Mercury Mountaineer, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Mountaineer feels bouncy, 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 2000 Mercury Mountaineer in for steering and suspension services. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Mountaineer suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mercury Mountaineer’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercury Mountaineer

Your 2000 Mercury Mountaineer’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 getting your 2000 Mercury Mountaineer’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Mercury Mountaineer shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2000 Mercury Mountaineer suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2000 Mountaineer 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 alert you to the need for 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 Mountaineer? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercury intended.
  • Does my Mercury Mountaineer power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Mercury service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Mercury Mountaineer bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Mountaineer to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Mountaineer to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Mountaineer 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mercury Mountaineer shocks? If your Mountaineer shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Mountaineer might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
