Is It Time For 2006 Mitsubishi Raider Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2006 Mitsubishi Raider, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Raider bounces, sways 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 2006 Mitsubishi Raider 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 Raider’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 Raider Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2006 Mitsubishi Raider’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2006 Mitsubishi Raider’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Mitsubishi Raider shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Mitsubishi Raider suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2006 Raider Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Raider's steering and 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Mitsubishi Raider get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 Raider power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Raider 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 Raider to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Raider to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Raider 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mitsubishi Raider are bad? If your Raider shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Raider might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
