Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Mystique's steering and suspension?

Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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 Mystique?

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 the tires connect with the road how Mercury intended.

Does my Mercury Mystique power steering fluid need to be checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Mystique’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercury's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my Mercury Mystique bouncing excessively?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Mystique 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 Mystique's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.

What do worn Mercury Mystique shocks feel like?

If your Mystique 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 Mystique might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

Is It Time For 2000 Mercury Mystique Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2000 Mercury Mystique, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Mystique feels bouncy, pulls 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 2000 Mercury Mystique, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mystique steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercury Mystique Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2000 Mercury Mystique’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2000 Mercury Mystique’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 Mystique shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Mystique’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
