Is It Time For 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Eclipse bounces, drifts 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 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Eclipse’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mitsubishi Eclipse shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2005 Eclipse Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Eclipse's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mitsubishi Eclipse? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Mitsubishi intended.
  • Does my Mitsubishi Eclipse power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Eclipse’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Mitsubishi Eclipse bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mitsubishi Eclipse might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Eclipse tilt forward when I hit the brakes? 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.
