Is It Time For 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Eclipse jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle 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 your Eclipse steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 2011 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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, 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 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2011 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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 connect with the road how Mitsubishi intended.
  • When should I have my Mitsubishi Eclipse power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Eclipse is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mitsubishi Eclipse to have a bouncy ride? 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's nose dive down when I hit 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.
