When To Get 2008 Mercury Sable Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2008 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 jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2008 Mercury Sable, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercury Sable

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 Mercury Sable suspension system. 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 getting your 2008 Mercury Sable’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, 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 inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2008 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Mercury Sable get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Sable’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mercury's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mercury Sable to have a bouncy ride? 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? 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.
