Is It Time For 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2003 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, sways 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 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport’s suspension. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mitsubishi Montero Sport shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Montero Sport’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2003 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 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • 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? 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? Worn Montero Sport shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Montero Sport might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Montero Sport shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
