Is It Time For 1987 Mitsubishi Precis Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1987 Mitsubishi Precis, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Precis 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 1987 Mitsubishi Precis 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Mitsubishi Precis suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mitsubishi Precis Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Mitsubishi Precis’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 getting your 1987 Mitsubishi Precis’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Precis shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Mitsubishi Precis’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 Precis Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mitsubishi's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mitsubishi Precis? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mitsubishi intended.
  • When does Mitsubishi Precis power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Precis’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mitsubishi service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Precis bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Precis 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 Precis front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Precis'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 Precis are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Precis feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Precis travels over minor bumps.
