Does Your 1991 Mitsubishi Precis Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1991 Mitsubishi Precis, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Precis bounces, leans 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 1991 Mitsubishi Precis in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. 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 Precis 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 Precis Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1991 Mitsubishi Precis suspension system. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1991 Mitsubishi Precis’s shocks and struts replaced 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 Precis shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Precis’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1991 Precis Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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 can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mitsubishi Precis to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Precis to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Precis's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? 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 Precis shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Precis might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Precis shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
