Is It Time For 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your i-MiEV jolts, 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 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your i-MiEV steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 2017 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your i-MiEV’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mitsubishi i-MiEV shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mitsubishi's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Mitsubishi i-MiEV power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your i-MiEV is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Mitsubishi i-MiEV 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 i-MiEV to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my i-MiEV's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your i-MiEV's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mitsubishi i-MiEV are bad? 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.
