Is It Time For 1984 Mitsubishi Starion Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1984 Mitsubishi Starion, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Starion bounces, 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 1984 Mitsubishi Starion, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 parts of your Mitsubishi Starion suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mitsubishi Starion Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Mitsubishi Starion’s suspension. 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 1984 Mitsubishi Starion’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Starion shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1984 Mitsubishi Starion’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1984 Starion Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Mitsubishi Starion 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Mitsubishi Starion power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Starion is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mitsubishi Starion 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.
  • Why does my Starion's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Starion 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mitsubishi Starion are bad? Worn Starion shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
