When To Get 1987 Mitsubishi Starion Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1987 Mitsubishi Starion, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Starion jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1987 Mitsubishi Starion in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 your Mitsubishi Starion’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mitsubishi Starion Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1987 Mitsubishi Starion’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1987 Mitsubishi Starion shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Mitsubishi Starion shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Mitsubishi Starion’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 Starion Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mitsubishi intended.
  • When should I have my Mitsubishi Starion power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Starion’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Starion bouncing so much? 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 Starion to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Starion 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.
  • What do worn Mitsubishi Starion shocks feel like? 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.
