When To Get 2005 Mercury Sable Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2005 Mercury Sable, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Sable bounces, drifts 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 2005 Mercury Sable in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel 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 Mercury Sable’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercury Sable Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2005 Mercury Sable’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2005 Mercury Sable shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mercury Sable shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2005 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.

2005 Sable Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 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 Sable? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires 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 inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Sable is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Mercury's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercury Sable are bad? 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.
