Is It Time For 1994 Mercury Sable Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1994 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 bounces, sways 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 1994 Mercury Sable in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Mercury Sable suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1994 Mercury Sable suspension system. 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 1994 Mercury Sable shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mercury Sable shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1994 Mercury Sable suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1994 Mercury Sable Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercury's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercury intended.
  • When should I have my Mercury Sable power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Sable’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercury's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • 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.
  • Why does my Sable's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Sable combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Mercury Sable shocks feel like? If your Sable 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 Sable might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
