Does Your 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Mirage feels bouncy, leans 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 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. 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

Your 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward 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 inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2002 Mirage Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Mirage's steering and 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mitsubishi Mirage? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all 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? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Mirage’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mitsubishi Mirage to have a bouncy ride? 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.
  • Why does my Mirage tilt forward 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? 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.
