When To Get 1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max, 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. Perhaps your Mighty Max feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Mitsubishi Mighty Max suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mitsubishi Mighty Max Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Mighty Max’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 signs of worn Mitsubishi Mighty Max shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max 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 1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max 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 alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mitsubishi Mighty Max? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mitsubishi Mighty Max power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Mighty Max is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Mitsubishi Mighty Max bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Mighty Max goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Mighty Max to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Mighty Max 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mitsubishi Mighty Max shocks? Worn Mighty Max shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Mighty Max might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Mighty Max shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
