Is It Time For 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Mirage bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage in for steering and suspension services. 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 dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mitsubishi Mirage Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mitsubishi up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mitsubishi Mirage shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1988 Mitsubishi Mirage Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mitsubishi's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Mitsubishi Mirage 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • 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? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mitsubishi Mirage shocks? 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.
