Does Your 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Lancer 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 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Lancer 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 Lancer Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer suspension system. 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 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 Lancer’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Mitsubishi Lancer shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Lancer's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Lancer? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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.
  • When should I have my Mitsubishi Lancer power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Lancer bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Lancer to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Lancer front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Lancer'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 Lancer are bad? Worn Lancer shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Lancer might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Lancer shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
