Is It Time For 1987 Mitsubishi Galant Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1987 Mitsubishi Galant, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Galant bounces, pulls 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 1987 Mitsubishi Galant in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Galant suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mitsubishi Galant 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 Galant Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Mitsubishi Galant’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mitsubishi up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Galant’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Galant shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Mitsubishi Galant’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 Galant Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mitsubishi's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mitsubishi Galant? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Mitsubishi Galant power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Galant is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mitsubishi Galant to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Galant to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Galant to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Galant 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Mitsubishi Galant need replacing? Worn Galant shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Galant might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Galant shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
