When To Get 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Eclipse feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. 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 power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mitsubishi Eclipse’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mitsubishi Eclipse

Your 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Eclipse’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mitsubishi Eclipse shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Eclipse’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mitsubishi's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 should my Mitsubishi Eclipse get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mitsubishi Eclipse power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Eclipse’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mitsubishi Eclipse to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Eclipse front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Eclipse's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mitsubishi Eclipse are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Eclipse feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Eclipse travels over minor bumps.
