Is It Time For 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Outlander feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mitsubishi Outlander

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2007 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 limit vibration and keep your Mitsubishi up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Outlander’s shocks and struts 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 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2007 Outlander Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mitsubishi's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mitsubishi intended.
  • Does my Mitsubishi Outlander power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Outlander’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mitsubishi Outlander to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Mitsubishi Outlander 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn Mitsubishi Outlander shocks feel like? Worn Outlander 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.
