When To Get 2006 Mitsubishi Galant Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2006 Mitsubishi Galant, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Galant bounces, drifts 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 2006 Mitsubishi Galant, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. 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 your Galant steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mitsubishi Galant Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2006 Mitsubishi Galant’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2006 Mitsubishi Galant’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mitsubishi Galant shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Mitsubishi Galant suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2006 Galant Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mitsubishi's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 Galant power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Galant’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Galant bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Mitsubishi Galant 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 Galant's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? 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 do I know if I have worn Mitsubishi Galant shocks? 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.
