Is It Time For 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Montero Sport jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Montero Sport suspension system needs repair, 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 an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mitsubishi Montero Sport

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mitsubishi up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Montero Sport’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mitsubishi Montero Sport shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Montero Sport’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2001 Montero Sport Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mitsubishi's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mitsubishi Montero Sport? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 does Mitsubishi Montero Sport power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Montero Sport to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Montero Sport'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 do I know if I have worn Mitsubishi Montero Sport shocks? 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.
