Does Your 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Diamante jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection 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 hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 Mitsubishi Diamante’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.

Mitsubishi Diamante Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Diamante’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Diamante shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2003 Diamante Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Diamante's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mitsubishi Diamante? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 Mitsubishi intended.
  • When does Mitsubishi Diamante 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 Diamante’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Mitsubishi Diamante to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Diamante to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Diamante tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Diamante combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mitsubishi Diamante are bad? If your Diamante shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Diamante might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
