Is It Time For 1985 Mitsubishi Starion Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1985 Mitsubishi Starion, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Starion jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1985 Mitsubishi Starion, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1985 Mitsubishi Starion suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Mitsubishi Starion shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mitsubishi Starion shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1985 Mitsubishi Starion’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

1985 Starion Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Starion's steering and 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 Starion? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Mitsubishi intended.
  • When should I have my Mitsubishi Starion power steering fluid checked? 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 can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mitsubishi Starion to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Mitsubishi Starion might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Starion tilt forward 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mitsubishi Starion need replacing? Worn Starion shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Starion might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Starion shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
