Is It Time For 1991 Mercury Topaz Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1991 Mercury Topaz, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Topaz feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1991 Mercury Topaz 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, 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 your Topaz suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mercury Topaz’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercury Topaz

Your 1991 Mercury Topaz’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercury up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1991 Mercury Topaz shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercury Topaz shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1991 Mercury Topaz’s 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.

1991 Topaz 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercury Topaz? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mercury Topaz 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 Topaz is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercury's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercury Topaz bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Topaz 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 Topaz's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Topaz 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercury Topaz are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Topaz feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Topaz travels over minor bumps.
