Is It Time For 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your i-MiEV jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your i-MiEV suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mitsubishi i-MiEV’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mitsubishi i-MiEV Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi i-MiEV shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 i-MiEV Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my i-MiEV's steering and 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 should my Mitsubishi i-MiEV get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mitsubishi i-MiEV power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your i-MiEV is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi i-MiEV bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my i-MiEV front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mitsubishi i-MiEV shocks? Worn i-MiEV shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your i-MiEV might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your i-MiEV shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
