Does Your 2007 Mercury Mountaineer Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2007 Mercury Mountaineer, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Mountaineer jolts, leans 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 2007 Mercury Mountaineer in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Mountaineer suspension system needs repair, 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 Mountaineer steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mercury Mountaineer Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2007 Mercury Mountaineer’s suspension. 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 2007 Mercury Mountaineer’s shocks and struts replaced 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 can all point to issues with your Mercury Mountaineer shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Mountaineer’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2007 Mercury Mountaineer Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercury's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercury Mountaineer? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mercury Mountaineer power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Mountaineer’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mercury's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercury Mountaineer bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Mountaineer goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Mountaineer front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Mountaineer'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 Mountaineer need replacing? 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.
