When To Get Your Mitsubishi Eclipse Brakes Checked

It’s best to get a brake check before your Mitsubishi Eclipse shows signs of brake troubles. That's one reason we offer complimentary brake checks so that we can help you stay one step ahead of serious problems. You can ask for a free brake check at any time. Schedule one on its own or request a brake check during a regular service, like an oil change. If life has gotten in the way of everyday car care, keep the following brake information in mind.

Brake problems include unusual noises, a vibrating pedal or steering wheel, a burning smell near your tires, a dashboard brake light that’s powered on, or the feeling that something is "off." You know your Mitsubishi Eclipse best. A free brake check can help keep your system performing well. Generally speaking, automakers like Mitsubishi suggest that rear and front brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles. That includes checking the parking brake, too. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. Want to keep your brakes ready for anything? Stop at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick inspection. Most of our locations are open seven days a week and in the evening for free brake checks. Our ASE Certified technicians will gladly inspect your  1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse brakes. Proper brake maintenance is key to preventing problems in the first place.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Brake Pad Replacement

How often should you change your 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s brake pads? It largely depends on where and how you drive. The majority of brake pads last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your Eclipse. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers Mitsubishi Eclipse brake pad replacements, coupons on brake services, and a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on brake pads. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are some of our most popular services. For your Eclipse, we’ll use brake components that meet or exceed Mitsubishi’s specs.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Brake Repair

Your Mitsubishi Eclipse may be powered by a strong engine. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. But if you can’t stop it, it’s as good as scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. Plus, ignoring your brake problems can result in more damage and higher brake repair bills. For instance, rotors may start to warp when you drive on worn brake pads, shortening the life of healthy parts due to the metal on metal grinding that occurs. We can help prevent that damage from happening. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair for your 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Our brake repair services include brake pad/shoe replacement, brake rotor/drum resurfacing, brake fluid exchange, and wheel cylinder and brake caliper installation.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Brakes Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is causing my Eclipse to shake when I brake? Faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, loose or worn suspension parts, and warped rotors can cause your Eclipse to shake during braking. If you’re experiencing odd brake behavior, schedule a free brake inspection at a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What is the total number of brake pads on my Eclipse? It’s common for vehicles to have four brake pads per axle — two on each front wheel and two on each back wheel. Since the front wheels tend to put in more work when bringing your Eclipse to a stop, the front brake pads usually wear out sooner than the rear ones.
  • What is the average lifespan of Eclipse brake pads? You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your Eclipse can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.
  • Does brake fluid leak when the car is off? Your Eclipse brake system is a closed hydraulic system, so a brake fluid leak likely means you have an issue in your brake system. Over time, brake components can wear out or get damaged, causing a brake fluid leak.
  • What auto shop near me can fix my Eclipse brakes? When you experience brake issues, book an appointment for a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We offer inspections and repairs for Eclipse brakes, and you might not even have to come to our store! Our Firestone Direct mobile brake mechanics may be able to come to you for your brake service.
