Wheel Bearings and Shock Absorbers Inspection

Certified Lincoln Technicians

Your Lincoln's wheel bearings and shock absorbers keep you safe on the road. If you hear a rumbling, groaning, or grinding sound from your car's wheels, you may have a wheel bearing issue. Feeling vibrations through the steering wheel is also a sign that you need a wheel bearing replacement. This is extremely important to replace, as it keeps your wheels straight and connected to your Lincoln.

Fortunately, the team at State Motors Lincoln has years of experience working on all types of Lincolns to replace your wheel bearings and shock absorbers to keep you safe and comfortable throughout Manchester. Read more about how your wheel bearings and shock absorbers work and how we can replace them for you in our state-of-the-art service center.


Wheel Bearing Replacements

Poorly sealed bearings or a lack of lubrication are the most common causes of wheel bearing problems. Worn bearings are extremely dangerous because they might collapse, causing the wheel to separate from the vehicle. They can also result in uneven tire wear, loud noises while driving, and severe vibration in your Lincoln.

Regardless of the type of road or the speed you're traveling, the wheels on your Lincoln must perform smoothly for safe driving. When the wheel bearings are damaged, friction builds up, making the drive less smooth. This friction can wear out the wheel bearings and cause the axle to wear out.

The team at State Motors Lincoln can provide you peace of mind by determining what is causing your vehicle's loud noise or vibration, as it can stem from any number of issues. If you notice any of the following symptoms, it's time to contact our service center to schedule an appointment:

  • Vibrations in the gas and brake pedals
  • Vibration in the floor above the wheels
  • Car pulling to one side
  • Loud noises coming from wheels at all speeds
  • Wobbling or buffeting sound at high speeds

Shocks and Suspension Services

The suspension system in your Lincoln serves two purposes - it manages your vehicle's handling on the road, and it improves comfort by reducing bumps and vibrations inside. Even under typical driving, critical components like ball joints, tie-rod ends, and bushings can wear down over time. Some of the same components can be damaged by hitting or going over obstacles like potholes or curbs. Shocks and struts (and their component parts) that are worn or damaged can impact the ride quality, handling, and safety of your Lincoln. Shocks and struts wear down over time, reducing ride quality and handling. If you notice any of the following issues in your Lincoln, you may have a problem with your suspension:

  • Bouncing going over even small bumps in the road
  • Your Lincoln's nose dips when braking
  • Significant body sway when turning
  • Ride seems too stiff, feeling every bump in the road
  • Poor steering response
  • Excessive noise when steering
  • Less control at high speeds
  • Your tires are worn unevenly or have flat areas

Our expert mechanics have years of experience working on all types of Lincolns. If you notice any of the above symptoms, it's important to contact us as soon as possible to remedy these issues. Your car's suspension system is not only for comfort - it keeps you and your passengers safe on the road. Call our Manchester Lincoln service center today to schedule an appointment.
