When To Get 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Montero Sport jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle 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 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mitsubishi Montero Sport

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Montero Sport shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1998 Montero Sport Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Montero Sport's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mitsubishi Montero Sport? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 Montero Sport 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 Montero Sport’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mitsubishi Montero Sport bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Montero Sport tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Montero Sport 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.
  • What do worn Mitsubishi Montero Sport shocks feel like? If your Montero Sport shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Montero Sport might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
