Mitsubishi Outlander Suspension Service Malaysia
The Outlander uses MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link rear suspension setup. Shock absorbers and struts typically need attention at 80,000–100,000 km on Malaysian roads with their mix of highway and potholes. The 7-seater variant experiences heavier rear loading, which accelerates wear on rear suspension bushings and shock absorbers used as a family hauler. Inspect lower arm bushings, ball joints, and stabiliser bar links at each major service — these are common wear items on higher-mileage units.
Outlander Suspension Service
- Front MacPherson strut, rear multi-link — more sophisticated than basic SUVs; provides better ride quality
- Shock absorbers: inspect at 80,000 km for oil seepage or excessive rebound; replace in pairs (front pair or rear pair)
- AWD Outlander: rear suspension bushings experience additional torque loading — inspect rear arms and bushings at 80,000 km
