Does Your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Eclipse jolts, leans 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 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. 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 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mitsubishi Eclipse

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse shock and strut replacement 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 signs of worn Mitsubishi Eclipse shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 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.

2012 Eclipse Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • 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. 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.
  • 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 follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Eclipse bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Eclipse goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Eclipse to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Eclipse's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mitsubishi Eclipse need replacing? If your Eclipse shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Eclipse might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
