When To Get 1990 Mercury Sable Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1990 Mercury Sable, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Sable jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1990 Mercury Sable, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Sable 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 Sable Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 Mercury Sable’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercury up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1990 Mercury Sable’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mercury Sable shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Sable’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1990 Mercury Sable Steering & Suspension

  • 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Mercury Sable get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mercury Sable power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Sable is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mercury service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercury Sable bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Sable 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 Sable to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Sable 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.
  • What do worn Mercury Sable shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Sable feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Sable travels over minor bumps.
