Mitsubishi Galant
Asked by Foreverjanie11 May 06, 2017 at 01:21 AM about the 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I bought a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant, it has 226000
miles on it, mostly highway miles. But there's a lot
of shaking, vibrating and rattling coming from the
front of the car when I'm stopped at a light, stop
sign etc. not sure if it's just because of old age or
lots of miles.

Check your belts. Could simply be an idler pulley going bad.

Hey Dandyoun. My eclipse has been vibrating for awhile when I am stopped at a light. I put it in neutral and it smooths out. But lately I have noticed it is vibrating as I am accelerating to get on the freeway? Do you think this could be caused from my motor mounts needing replaced? I have 106k miles and never replaced them yet. I see you have some good experience and advice for Mitsubishi cars.

I can answer this one. My 2002 galant was doing the same do I ordered the 4 motor mounts from rockauto and honestly it was a very simple fix to do. I jacked up both sides of the front end and replaced with the orange taller stationary Jack's. Then I lifted the engine to meet the new mounts with the hydraulic. Easy as making a cherry cheesecake. And definetly don't lose sight of those bolts.
