Does Your 1989 Mitsubishi Sigma Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1989 Mitsubishi Sigma, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Sigma feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1989 Mitsubishi Sigma, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Sigma steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mitsubishi Sigma Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1989 Mitsubishi Sigma’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Sigma’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mitsubishi Sigma shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Mitsubishi Sigma’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1989 Sigma Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sigma's steering and 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mitsubishi Sigma? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mitsubishi intended.
  • When does Mitsubishi Sigma 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 Sigma’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mitsubishi Sigma to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my Sigma to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Sigma 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 Sigma shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Sigma feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Sigma travels over minor bumps.
