Is It Time For 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Eclipse feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Eclipse suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mitsubishi Eclipse’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mitsubishi Eclipse shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mitsubishi's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mitsubishi Eclipse? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Mitsubishi intended.
  • When does Mitsubishi Eclipse power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Eclipse is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Eclipse bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Eclipse to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Eclipse front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Eclipse when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn Mitsubishi Eclipse shocks feel like? 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.
