During the first few years you had your 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Eclipse jolts, sways 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 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.
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, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Eclipse suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Eclipse steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.
Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s suspension. 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 affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mitsubishi Eclipse shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.
