Does Your 1993 Mercury Topaz Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1993 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. Maybe your Topaz jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1993 Mercury Topaz in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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.

Mercury Topaz Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1993 Mercury Topaz suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 1993 Mercury Topaz shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mercury Topaz shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Topaz’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1993 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 help you notice when you need new 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? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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.
  • When does Mercury Topaz power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Topaz’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mercury's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercury Topaz bouncing excessively? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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 do I know if I have worn Mercury Topaz shocks? 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.
