When To Get 1998 Mercury Villager Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1998 Mercury Villager, 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 Villager bounces, leans 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 1998 Mercury Villager, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, 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 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 Villager steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mercury Villager Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1998 Mercury Villager suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1998 Mercury Villager’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mercury Villager shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1998 Mercury Villager suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1998 Mercury Villager 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercury Villager? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercury intended.
  • When should I have my Mercury Villager power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Villager is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Mercury's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercury Villager bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mercury Villager might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Villager tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Villager 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercury Villager need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Villager feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Villager travels over minor bumps.
