Does Your 1985 Mitsubishi Tredia Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1985 Mitsubishi Tredia, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Tredia feels bouncy, sways 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 1985 Mitsubishi Tredia, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle 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 all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Mitsubishi Tredia suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mitsubishi Tredia Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1985 Mitsubishi Tredia’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 Tredia shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Tredia shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1985 Mitsubishi Tredia suspension 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.

1985 Tredia Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mitsubishi's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mitsubishi Tredia? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mitsubishi intended.
  • When does Mitsubishi Tredia 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 Tredia’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 Tredia 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.
  • Why does my Tredia's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Tredia 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 Tredia are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Tredia feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Tredia travels over minor bumps.
