Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Eclipse's steering and suspension?

Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When should I have my Mitsubishi Eclipse power steering fluid checked?

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’ll top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why does my Mitsubishi Eclipse bounce so much?

Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.

What can cause the front end of my Eclipse to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

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.

What are the signs that the shocks on my Mitsubishi Eclipse need replacing?

Worn Eclipse shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Eclipse might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Eclipse shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

Does Your 2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Eclipse jolts, drifts 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 2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, damper 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Mitsubishi Eclipse suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side 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 2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.
