Hi. Mitsubishi GLS owner here. I have been following this thread because I have experienced the same issues. I hear a knocking thud sound on my steering wheel when turning and on uneven surfaces. Reported it on my 1000 pms but Diamond motors say it's normal which is weird. Any news on where to go for this?

... and this is why the Toyota Fortuner will still outsell the Mitsubishi Montero Sport ... this and that hideous rear tail lights ...

I went to Mitsu last week and personally saw the memo/procedure gave by the HQ (probably memo from Thailand or Japan). Subject is "Reconditioning Procedure on Steering Lower Shaft of Montero QX with Knock Feeeling"

Ngayon naman problem ko may lumalangitngit sa steering wheel ko mismo.

Ayaw pa iconsider ni Mitsubishi na issue. As per customer complaints lang daw nila aaddress.

Got mine reconditioned last week but the knocking sound is still there. Will bring it back to Mitsu Marcos highway for another round of testing on Monday and was advised to leave it for at least 3 days which sucks...

Kumusta na po ang issue na ito? Plan ko po sana bumili ng montero, well napapaisip ako if montero or altis ang kukunin ko nagaalangan tuloy ako dahil dito.

"I heard the culprit to those steering issues is the telescopic steering wheel adjustment coupling. And this telescopic steering wheel is new to mitsubishi, especially to the montero sport. Thus the lack of long term testing. A non-telescopic steering wheel is much more rigid, and has much less "play", if any."

My 2003 and 2008 strada pickup both suffered this steering wheel "knock" issue. Ordinary up/down adjustment lang sya.

Naka ilang balik rin sa casa, masolve din for a couple of months then babalik ulit tunog until I sold my 2008 and ung 2003 ko buhay pa and sobrang lala na ng sound. Kahit idle and stationary nag knock sound sya.

Had the same issue from the day my 2017 GT was released from CT Citimotors Makati. Thud appears when the car’s body rolls from side to side on uneven surfaces. Had it checked on my 1000km PMS. They explained the sound was coming from the design of the steering column due to the Montero’s telescopic steering feature. Service attendant mentioned about the type of lubricant used on the steering column tends to dry out, hence, the knocking sound.

Lo and behold thud disappeared after the service. They did re lubed and tighten some bolts as I was told. No knocking sound since then. Hope this helps!
