Does Your 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage, 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 Mirage jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mitsubishi Mirage shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1997 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 help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mitsubishi Mirage? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Mitsubishi intended.
  • When should I have my Mitsubishi Mirage power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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 it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Mirage goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Mirage to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn Mitsubishi Mirage shocks feel like? Worn Mirage shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Mirage might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Mirage shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
