Just had mine done with similar results, new nearside fitted but the offside apparently completely within tolerance. Ride transformed - handling yet to be tested!Originally Posted by Kieran

I've just got back from my local Mitsubshi service centre. My car needs a new suspension arm.
I have an X Reg V6 Sport.
The idiots left my boot open so I was driving it away with it flapping!
They have to order the part in. I thought they would already have them. They're fitting it on the 24th July.

ummm ok i have just started reading these and am a bit worried.
I havent recieved any letter from mitsi on this but i do get a grating grinding sound when i turn at really low speeds (pretty much stationery).
it doesnt do it all the time just every now and then say a couple of times a month.
do you think i should get this checked out ?? could i get this done on the recall notice ?? or will i be paying ??
Thanks

Had a call back from dealer and they said no existing recalls on my car .. but i got that clunking noise from drivers side right when going from forward to reverse sometimes , that somebody else mentioned in previous post .. was this related to ball joints or was it suspension related.. and are mitsy just trying to fob me off cos it's an import ??
I haven't noticed any noises or knocks in 5 years, but have no idea if the bits have ever been inspected during services. Mine's included in Kiwi's affected chassis no. list, so expect that the work is required. Does anyone know the Mitsi part no. for the replaced bits? I'll see if the work's been recorded on previous bills and try to claim any cash back if I've been charged.

i just got back and i had both replaced. apparently they had a lot of play in them
anyways it is sorted now.
Mine has been in and checked. Even though it has done 85,000 miles and has the original balljoints they said that there was hardly any play in them at all. :-)

Mine was in on Monday, but they didn't find anything. Still, drove it away with a squeek coming from a dry joint or something. Pity they didn't grease it up when they had the wheels off. Plonkers!
Bugger! They also did the annual underseal check and found rust on both front doors underneath the rubber seal at the bottom.
And the car's only 2 years old! Doesn't bode well for the future does it?
I had my Carisma for 5 years and did 150k in it with no sign of any rust!

Good to hear Mitsi are honouring this recall.
A bit of a dirt trap there. Mine get wiped out after a wash. Helps if you open the doors fully and let the water drain out also.Originally Posted by lorriman

That's do it. But last year they refilled the door cavities with underseal. I know 'cos they left it to harden on the bodywork and I had to take it back to be removed.Originally Posted by wirdy
What gets me is they charge you £45 to find out that it is rusty and needs repairing. I don't know of any other manufacturer who insists on the inspection and also charges for it. Are Mitsis particularly prone to rust?
My chassis number is JMALNEA2WW2000168, can anyone check for me? Thanks!
Had both mine done yesterday. Interestingly didn't receive a recall notice, had to call and ask for them to do the work! Mitsi Guildford seemed ok though, even cleaned the car inside and out!
