Is It Time For 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2000 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. Perhaps your Mirage feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Mitsubishi Mirage shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage suspension 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.

2000 Mirage Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mitsubishi's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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.
  • 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. 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 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 Mirage’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Mirage bouncing excessively? 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? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Mirage's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mitsubishi Mirage are bad? 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.
