Is It Time For 1987 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1987 Mitsubishi Mighty Max, 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 Mighty Max bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1987 Mitsubishi Mighty Max in for steering and suspension services. 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, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Mighty Max 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 Mighty Max’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mitsubishi Mighty Max

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Mitsubishi Mighty Max’s suspension. 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 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 can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Mighty Max shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Mitsubishi Mighty Max’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1987 Mighty Max Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mitsubishi's 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Mitsubishi Mighty Max get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 should I have my Mitsubishi Mighty Max power steering fluid 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’ll top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Mighty Max bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Mitsubishi Mighty Max 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 Mighty Max front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Mighty Max'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.
  • What do worn Mitsubishi Mighty Max shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Mighty Max feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Mighty Max travels over minor bumps.
