Is It Time For 1986 Mitsubishi Tredia Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1986 Mitsubishi Tredia, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Tredia feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1986 Mitsubishi Tredia in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1986 Mitsubishi Tredia’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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1986 Mitsubishi Tredia shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mitsubishi Tredia shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Tredia’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1986 Tredia 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mitsubishi Tredia? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Mitsubishi Tredia power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mitsubishi Tredia bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Tredia to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Tredia front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mitsubishi Tredia need replacing? Worn Tredia shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Tredia might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Tredia shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
