Does Your 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Mirage bounces, leans 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 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mitsubishi Mirage suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mitsubishi Mirage Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mitsubishi Mirage shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Mirage’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage Steering & Suspension

  • 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 alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Mitsubishi Mirage 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mitsubishi Mirage power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Mirage’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Mirage bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mitsubishi Mirage 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Mirage to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Mirage 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 Mirage shocks feel like? If your Mirage shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Mirage might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
