Does Your 2009 Mercury Sable Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2009 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. Perhaps your Sable feels bouncy, leans 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 2009 Mercury Sable in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercury Sable Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Mercury Sable’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Sable’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mercury Sable shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Mercury Sable suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2009 Mercury Sable Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercury's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercury intended.
  • When should I have my Mercury Sable power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Sable is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mercury service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercury Sable bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sable to bounce more than usual.
  • 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.
  • 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.
