When To Get 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2008 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, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Lancer suspension system needs repair, 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, 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 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 Lancer Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Lancer's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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. 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 does Mitsubishi Lancer power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Lancer is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mitsubishi Lancer bounce so much? 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's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Lancer combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Mitsubishi Lancer shocks feel like? 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.
