Is It Time For 1987 Mitsubishi Van Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1987 Mitsubishi Van, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Van jolts, drifts 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 1987 Mitsubishi Van in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Van suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Van steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mitsubishi Van Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Mitsubishi Van’s suspension. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Van’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mitsubishi Van shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Van’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 Van Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Mitsubishi Van 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mitsubishi intended.
  • Does my Mitsubishi Van power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Van’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mitsubishi's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mitsubishi Van to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Van goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Van's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Van's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Mitsubishi Van shocks feel like? Worn Van shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Van might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Van shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
