Is It Time For 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Outlander bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel 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 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.

Mitsubishi Outlander Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Outlander shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Outlander’s 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.

2017 Outlander Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mitsubishi's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • Does my Mitsubishi Outlander power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Outlander is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Outlander bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Outlander goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Outlander front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Outlander 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 Outlander need replacing? 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.
