When To Get 1997 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1997 Mitsubishi Montero Sport, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Montero Sport jolts, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1997 Mitsubishi Montero Sport, bring it 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Mitsubishi Montero Sport 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.

Mitsubishi Montero Sport Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1997 Mitsubishi Montero Sport suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1997 Mitsubishi Montero Sport shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Mitsubishi Montero Sport shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1997 Mitsubishi Montero Sport suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1997 Montero Sport Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mitsubishi's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Montero Sport? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mitsubishi intended.
  • When should I have my Mitsubishi Montero Sport power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Montero Sport’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mitsubishi Montero Sport to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Montero Sport 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 Montero Sport 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Mitsubishi Montero Sport need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Montero Sport feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Montero Sport travels over minor bumps.
