When To Get 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Outlander feels bouncy, pulls 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 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mitsubishi Outlander 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 Outlander Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Outlander’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Mitsubishi Outlander shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander Steering & Suspension

  • 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.
  • Why should my Mitsubishi Outlander 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mitsubishi Outlander power steering fluid checked? 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 follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Mitsubishi Outlander bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Outlander to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Outlander tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Outlander'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 Outlander are bad? Worn Outlander shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Outlander might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Outlander shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
