Is It Time For 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Eclipse jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub 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 explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mitsubishi Eclipse

Your 2006 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. But there's no set schedule for 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. 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 routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2006 Eclipse Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Eclipse's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Mitsubishi Eclipse get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Eclipse bouncing excessively? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Eclipse to dip forward when I apply 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 Eclipse shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
