Had the same issue from the day my 2017 GT was released from CT Citimotors Makati. Thud appears when the carÂ’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 MonteroÂ’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!

If it's the SA who insists on replacing it to new, then why not as long as you won't break your wallet and the job is under warranty. Unless lubing and tightening won't work, replacement might be the better idea.

Hi fellow Montero owners, I have been encountering a misalignment issue.

I first noticed it a month ago. When I drive, the wheel inexplicably turns a bit towards right. I keep thinking maybe it's just my perception issue.

But today, I just noticed that it is the whole steering column that's not aligned. Noticed it when I'm trying to change the height of the steering wheel.

As you'll be able to see in the photos, when I try to adjust the steering wheel to the lowest possible position, you can clearly see that the right side is lower.

Does anyone encounter this issue or is it just me?

I'm trying to determine if it's normal or not.

Thanks in advance.
