Is It Time For 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Outlander jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mitsubishi Outlander’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mitsubishi Outlander Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander’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 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, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Outlander shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2012 Outlander Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Outlander's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mitsubishi Outlander? 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 connect with the road how Mitsubishi intended.
  • Does my Mitsubishi Outlander power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Outlander bouncing 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Outlander to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Outlander 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.
  • What do worn Mitsubishi Outlander shocks feel like? 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.
