Does Your 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Outlander Sport jolts, leans 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 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, bring it 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 parts of your Mitsubishi Outlander 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.

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Outlander Sport shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 Outlander Sport Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Outlander Sport's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 should my Mitsubishi Outlander Sport get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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.
  • When does Mitsubishi Outlander 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 Outlander Sport’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Outlander Sport bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 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.
  • Why does my Outlander Sport front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Outlander Sport when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mitsubishi Outlander Sport shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Outlander Sport feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Outlander Sport travels over minor bumps.
