Does Your 2000 Mitsubishi Galant Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2000 Mitsubishi Galant, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Galant jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2000 Mitsubishi Galant, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 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

Your 2000 Mitsubishi Galant’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Galant shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2000 Mitsubishi Galant suspension 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.

Questions About 2000 Mitsubishi Galant Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Galant's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mitsubishi Galant? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Mitsubishi intended.
  • When does Mitsubishi Galant power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Galant’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Mitsubishi Galant bounce so much? 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.
  • Why does my Galant front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Galant 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mitsubishi Galant are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Galant feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Galant travels over minor bumps.
