Does Your 2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, 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 i-MiEV jolts, 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 2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Mitsubishi i-MiEV’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, 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 i-MiEV

Your 2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV’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 limit vibration and keep your Mitsubishi up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mitsubishi i-MiEV shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your i-MiEV’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 i-MiEV Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mitsubishi's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 i-MiEV? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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.
  • When should I have my Mitsubishi i-MiEV power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your i-MiEV is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi i-MiEV bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mitsubishi i-MiEV 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 i-MiEV tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your i-MiEV 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 do worn Mitsubishi i-MiEV shocks feel like? Worn i-MiEV shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
