Does Your 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Lancer jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Lancer suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mitsubishi Lancer’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mitsubishi Lancer Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 Lancer’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mitsubishi Lancer shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2006 Lancer Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mitsubishi intended.
  • When should I have my Mitsubishi Lancer power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Lancer’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Lancer 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Lancer to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Lancer 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Mitsubishi Lancer need replacing? Worn Lancer 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.
