Is It Time For 1997 Mercury Sable Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1997 Mercury Sable, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sable bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1997 Mercury Sable in for suspension and steering service. 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, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Sable suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1997 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1997 Mercury Sable’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercury Sable shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1997 Mercury Sable’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1997 Mercury Sable Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sable's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercury intended.
  • Does my Mercury Sable power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Sable’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mercury service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercury Sable bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mercury Sable might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Sable tilt forward when I hit 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? 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.
