    Front Suspension Arms

    Hi all,

    Have started getting some creaking when steering, so it's time to replace those suspension arms!

    I've done ~75,000 miles in the car over 5.5 years, so I've had good life out of the arms that were fitted as part of the recall. Only a few weeks ago I was thinking about looking into getting some replacements, but with the creaking that's now started, that's been pushed up the list of priorities!


    I'm looking only for new, genuine Mitsubishi arms - hopefully at prices better than Camskill...


    Cheers!

    Garry

    Will keep an eye on this thread as my purple one could do with replacements too.

    I called Camskill, and they couldn't confirm that the straight arms are genuine Mitsubishi OEM. The listing for their curved arms, however, DO state that they are genuine.

    So, I ordered the curved arms (as well as new top arms, and anti-roll bar drop links) from Camskill, and ordered the straight arms direct from Mitsubishi - £224 each (only £10 more than Camskill)

    Ordered on Monday, and the bits from Camskill are here already, and I've just had a call from my local Mitsubishi dealer to say the straight arms are in, so I'll collect and fit them on Saturday.

    Thats good to know Garry. For the sake of the extra £10 its worth getting the straight arms from Mitsy direct. Don't suppose you have the part number for the straight arms at all do you?
