Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mitsubishi's suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.

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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When does Mitsubishi Mirage power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

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 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.

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 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.

When To Get 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Mirage feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mirage steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mitsubishi Mirage Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage suspension system. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Mirage’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Mirage shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.
