Does Your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Lancer feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 Lancer 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 Lancer Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mitsubishi up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Lancer’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 could all be indicators of worn Mitsubishi Lancer shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer suspension 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.

Questions About 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Lancer's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Mitsubishi Lancer 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way 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 follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Lancer bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Mitsubishi Lancer might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mitsubishi Lancer are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Lancer feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Lancer travels over minor bumps.
