Is It Time For 1987 Mitsubishi Mirage Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1987 Mitsubishi Mirage, 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. Maybe your Mirage jolts, drifts 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 1987 Mitsubishi Mirage, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mitsubishi Mirage’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mitsubishi Mirage

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Mitsubishi Mirage suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your Mitsubishi up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1987 Mitsubishi Mirage shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mitsubishi Mirage shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Mitsubishi Mirage’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 Mirage Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mitsubishi's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mitsubishi Mirage? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mitsubishi intended.
  • When should I have my Mitsubishi Mirage power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Mirage is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mitsubishi Mirage bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Mirage to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Mirage to dip forward when I apply 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 do I know if I have worn Mitsubishi Mirage shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Mirage feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Mirage travels over minor bumps.
