Does Your 1994 Mercury Tracer Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1994 Mercury Tracer, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Tracer bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1994 Mercury Tracer, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. 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 your Mercury Tracer’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mercury Tracer Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1994 Mercury Tracer suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1994 Mercury Tracer shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mercury Tracer shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1994 Mercury Tracer’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1994 Tracer Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Tracer's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercury Tracer? 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 does Mercury Tracer power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Tracer is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercury's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercury Tracer bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Tracer 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 Tracer are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Tracer feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Tracer travels over minor bumps.
