When To Get 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2000 Mitsubishi Montero, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Montero feels bouncy, leans 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 2000 Mitsubishi Montero in for suspension and steering service. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Mitsubishi Montero 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2000 Mitsubishi Montero suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2000 Mitsubishi Montero’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Montero shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2000 Mitsubishi Montero’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2000 Montero Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mitsubishi's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Mitsubishi Montero get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 should I have my Mitsubishi Montero power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Montero is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Montero bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Mitsubishi Montero might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Montero to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Montero 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Mitsubishi Montero need replacing? Worn Montero shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
