- 1997 Mercury Mountaineer
I just bought a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer. It was stationary for about six years before the guy I bought it from began driving it, so it only has 64,000 miles. There are some cosmetic stuff to work on, but it runs like a hoss.
The one performance issue I seem to be having is a squeaky front end. Whenever I am moving slowly (through a parking lot, for example) I can hear squeaking that sounds like it is coming from both wheel areas of the front end. The guy who sold me the vehicle said he thinks it needs shocks, but the ride seems fine. I was thinking it might just need to be lubed up well from the years of sitting.
Thoughts?
