Mitsubishi Mirage Shocks & Struts

Launched on the U.S. market in 1985, the Mitsubishi Mirage was a compact three-door hatchback; the sedan was added to the line a bit later. On other markets, the vehicle was available as the Lancer or Colt. It was a success, and many cars built at that time can still be found on the roads. Mainly, the Mirage was designed for daily use in chaotic urban traffic, where stop-and-go driving, frequent braking and accelerations stress the suspension system remarkably. Good condition of shocks and struts is especially vital, as they are directly responsible for comfort, handling, and, ultimately, safety.

In a typical suspension system, coil springs respond to the irregularities of the road surface by stretching and compressing and store kinetic energy. Shocks and struts are in charge of absorbing this energy, acting as an oil pump and transforming the energy into heat, which is dissipated in the atmosphere. Although they play the same role, shocks and struts have different design schemes and are not interchangeable. We have a large selection of Mitsubishi Mirage shocks and struts crafted by trustworthy companies to provide good comfort and handling.
