When To Get 1986 Mitsubishi Mirage Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1986 Mitsubishi Mirage, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Mirage feels bouncy, drifts 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 1986 Mitsubishi Mirage in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Mirage suspension system needs repair, 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mitsubishi Mirage

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1986 Mitsubishi Mirage suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Mirage’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation 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 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.

Questions About 1986 Mitsubishi Mirage Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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. 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.
  • When does Mitsubishi Mirage 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Mitsubishi Mirage bounce 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.
  • Why does my Mirage's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Mirage 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Mitsubishi Mirage are bad? 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.
