Compare Mitsubishi axle repair quotes from specialist garages

Mitsubishi's automotive division was founded in 1970, but it produced its first vehicle way before that. In 1917, the shipbuilding division created the Model A, intended as a luxury car for officials. It was the first series-production vehicle in Japan and paved the way for the Debonair, a four-door executive sedan introduced in 1964.

A breakthrough happened for the company in 1976 when it developed Silent Shaft engine technology to reduce vibrations. This technology was so successful that it was licensed to other brands, including Porsche and Fiat.

Since then, Mitsubishi has continued to push boundaries. Its 2011 Outlander ad campaign beat no less than five world records, including the greatest distance driven by a vehicle in reverse on snow in 30 seconds.

A car axle is a shaft connected to the wheels that supports the vehicle's weight. It may either be fixed to the car, allowing the wheels to rotate around the axle, or fixed to the wheels, rotating with them.

Several things could cause damage to your car's axle, including loading it above its weight-bearing capacity, hitting potholes or curbs too hard, poor maintenance and being involved in a collision. When damage occurs, you'll have to book a car axle repair because the safety of your vehicle has been compromised.

The most common symptoms of a damaged or broken axle are malfunctioning brakes, inability to accelerate, a loud clunking noise, grease leaking from under the vehicle and tyre misalignment.

Wondering if there is a car axle repair shop near you? The answer is almost always yes; most mechanics offer this type of repair.
