Does Your 1999 Mitsubishi Montero Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1999 Mitsubishi Montero, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Montero jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1999 Mitsubishi Montero in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Montero 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mitsubishi Montero

Your 1999 Mitsubishi Montero’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Mitsubishi Montero shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Montero shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Montero’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1999 Montero Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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. 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? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mitsubishi intended.
  • Does my Mitsubishi Montero power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Montero is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mitsubishi Montero bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Montero 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 Montero tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Montero'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 can I tell if the shocks on my Mitsubishi Montero are bad? Worn Montero shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Montero might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Montero shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
