Advise on Mitsubishi RVR (Sports Gear)

ownertype,

Open diff ang RVR. So bale hindi iikot ng sabay ang 4 wheels niyan. One wheel each axle lang ang iikot. Minsan yung opposite wheel paatras pa ang ikot dahil nga open diff design. Pero its a good way to check.

kuha ko na pala yung RVR Sports Gear. i was able to drive it thoroughly last saturday and heto mga napansin ko.

- observe ko na pag preno ako may "chug, chug, chug" sound sa ilalim. sabi nung friend ko yun daw yung ABS. pero di ko sure kasi kung me ABS yung RVR. advise naman kasi di ko ma drive ng malayo at baka madisgrasya ako. preno pa naman yan.

- yung manibela lumalangitngit pag steer mo. PS fluid kaya to or maluwag yung PS belt?

puwede ko naman ibalik sa shop for repair pero i need to be sure 1st kung tama yung mga hinala ko.

When ABS systems activate, it has a grinding sound/feel on the pedal but this should only occur during hard braking where you stomp hard on the pedal and the ABS actually comes into use/function (panic braking on a slippery road). Another question is that if the car had an ABS system prior to conversion, do you really think that they carried it over during the conversion and if it was done properly?

I'd suggest you go have the car checked asap as those problems that you feel could be serious to your safety on the road (steering and brakes).

Try to get some second opinions from another shop as well so that you dont rely on what the one shop tells you... medyop mahirap din kung ganun lagi IMO.

sige pa check ko sa sabado. sabi nung friend ko na seldom daw sa mga converted SUVs na ok pa rin yung ABS. Mabusisi daw ang electonics nun e kaya di na lang nila kinakabit. salamat muli!

ownertype,

Simple lang electronics ng ABS. Self contained unit (computer box ito). Yung wheelspeed sensors lang ang kinukunan niya ng inputs (simple din lang ang wheelspeed sensors).

Try the Mitsubishi dealership. May ABS na din naman ang mga latest Mitsus, eh.

sensya na binuhay ko ulit ito. last night i was driving my dad's RVR Sports gear. nung pag park ko napansin ko bigla tigas ng manibela. so inuwi ko. damn ang hirap iliko napakatigas ng steering. buti naipasok ko pa sa garahe. tapos napansin ko me tagas sa ilalim na PS Fluid.

dahil covered pa rin ng warranty, kinuha ng mekaniko nung shop na pinagbilhan namin yung sasakyan kaninang umaga. tumawag ako just a while ago and sabi sira daw yung rack and pin so kailangan baklasin and palitan.

guys grabe ba to? advise naman...
