Does Your 1999 Mercury Sable Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1999 Mercury Sable, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sable jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1999 Mercury Sable in for steering and suspension repairs. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel 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 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 Mercury Sable suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Mercury Sable shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mercury Sable shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Mercury Sable suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1999 Mercury Sable Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercury's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercury Sable? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Mercury intended.
  • Does my Mercury Sable power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Sable’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercury's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercury Sable bouncing excessively? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Sable'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercury Sable need replacing? Worn Sable shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sable might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sable shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
