When To Get 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Eclipse feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mitsubishi Eclipse suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mitsubishi Eclipse shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

1994 Eclipse Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Eclipse'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 Eclipse? 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 the tires connect with the road how Mitsubishi intended.
  • When should I have my Mitsubishi Eclipse power steering fluid 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 top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mitsubishi Eclipse bounce 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? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Eclipse 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 Eclipse are bad? If your Eclipse 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 Eclipse might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
