Is It Time For 2010 Mercury Mountaineer Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Mercury Mountaineer, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Mountaineer bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2010 Mercury Mountaineer, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 2010 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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Mountaineer’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mercury Mountaineer shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2010 Mercury Mountaineer’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2010 Mountaineer Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercury's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 should my Mercury Mountaineer get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercury intended.
  • 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Mercury's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mercury Mountaineer bouncing so much? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Mountaineer to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercury Mountaineer are bad? Worn Mountaineer shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Mountaineer might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Mountaineer shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
