Mitsubishi Galant

[tomecho]

just want to know.... what problems do you guys encountered with your galant? i also have a galant supersalon 95 model... thanks....:confused:

[ssaloon]

problematic areas of the 7g galant include a weak underchassis (suspension arms, shocks, etc.) and a tendency of the disc brakes to warp. just make sure that you undergo the regular PMS and you're set to go :D

mejo weak din ang A/T variant nito eh.

basically eto lang ang problems na na-encounter ko. i suggest you replace the OEM fluid type shocks to more firm, and sturdy gas shocks. negligible difference in terms of ride quality. makes the chassis a bit more firm lang. sarap ng hatak ng 4g63 makina ng super saloon, matakaw nga lang sa gas pag pedal to the metal driver ka.

i'm experimenting on using a laid back driving style, e.g. shifting up at around 2.5k sa tach para malaman ko kung ano magiging fuel economy ko

HTH

suspension nga yun mahina.. lagi may sira ng bushing.. plus the fact that most of the front suspension bushing are not swappable. so you have to change the whole arm.

speaking of disc warp, am having mine re-faced on thur.. and hopefully upgrade to better pads/fluids as well

despite those problems, the 7g galant is a great car. comfortable for long drives, stable at speed..

its hard to go back to tiny 1.6L after you've gone 2L :P

sa amin..

1. suspension arm at 25k kms (P9,000)
2. a/t tranny at 40k kms (its starts in 3rd gear and usually overheats after 1 hour on driving. estimated repair by casa is P100k, pina-remedyo lang namin muna sa isang shop, dapat lang laging o/d off...cost was 10k, but we havent drove it ng malayo. for coding nalang)

comfy naman ang ride, engine power is also ok.

lateral arms on both sides. aside from dat, i noticed dat wen turning left on rough surfaces, ders a knocking sound on the driver's side underchassis components. suspension uli yun, but my car is a '97 model vr. normal wear and tear na siguro after 6yrs, yung mga lateral arms na pinalitan ang premature wear n tear

[Tifosi]

I agree with the people have posted here. Suspension is one point against it. Another would be that damned A/T. Citimotors was charging us P100K din! :whoa: Siyempre di kami kakagat no, sira pala sila eh! Buti na lang may mga friends kami na taga-citimotors, so sinideline na lang namen. In the end it cost us around P30K, pinalitan yung clutch disc, pressure plate, etc,etc.

Apart from those things, I like that car. It's fast, stable at HIGH speed:D , masarap lalo na pag long drive!

[papa tots]

we also had suspension problems with our 94 VR, mostly on the bushings.

but i like the engine. di ka kakapusin sa power, but not as refined as the next generation galant's 2.5 V6 or the nissan cefiro V6.

[ssaloon]

but the 8g 4g63 sohc powerplant really sucked IMO... ang bagal na tlga compared to the previous model of the same trim.

[maveric]

i have a '93 GTi Galant converted to automatic, ano b solution pag yun transmission masyado na malakas ang vibration pag idle lang or pag naka drive at full stop?

[FromDi]

Own a 97 Galant ES and had a recall to replace the suspension arm including bolt-joints. hindi pa sira pero pinalitan ng Mitsu Motors Corp of USA.

[tomecho]

thanks sa mga reply.... sarap talaga gamitin kasi di masyado matagtag, but is it normal ba pag nakadrive ka (kasi automatic transmission) eh medyo ma vibrate sa loob? :worried: thanks again....

[cardo]

naging problema ko sa galant(vrv6) is yun power steering nagka leak, may tok sound sa suspension when cornering, tie rod(madaling masira esp pag nalubak), body vibration when braking at 75kph, and once mahirap pumasok yun 1st gear. pero narepair naman lahat. eto lang naging probs and still going strong at 100k+ mileage

pinka ok yun engine, lakas talaga humataw!

[FLiPMaRC]

:lol: Ako = http://www.tsikot.com/forums/showthr...&threadid=7517

Pero lakas parin humataw

[tomecho]

question agian.... when i step on the brake, there is a scratching sound on the front right side of the wheel.... may naencounter na ba kayo ganito prob? kc palit na ako ng disc pad, all the suspension components and disc plate also.... thanks for your help guys... irritating kasi yung sound eh.... thanks a lot... and also, can you guys recommend a shop na magaling gumawa or expirience sa mga galant.... thanks....

[the_wildthing]

Suspension din. Eventually nagka-singaw yung isang valve but that was because I think we drove it too hard.

[glntVR]

suspension tlga ata prob ng 7g... samin dn ganun... lalo na un tie rod.. ok nmn cya.. bilis tlga lakas ng hatak
pro sa interior puro vibrations tlga kht knti lng un lubak

[tomecho]

it means that yung scratching sound sa right side di na matatangal yun? :confused:

kung nagpalit ka na ng brake pads, baka meron naipin na very hard object between the brake pads and the rotor. check mo kung nagkalinya (gasgas) yung rotors mo sa harap.

FYI, nagkaroon ng silent recall ang mitsu galant (shark) sa suspension. meron silang papalitan dun free of charge. i've been posting this info repeatedly for a long time now, ewan ko lang kung meron ng nagpapalit sa inyo.

[tomecho]

boybi... hangang ngayon ba meron pa rin ba silent recall ang mitsubishi? palit na ako ng disc pad and disc plate pero ganon pa din eh...:worried: di ko na nga alam kung ano pa ang gagawin eh... nagpalit na rin ako ng mga suspension parts pati shock abs... any of you guys expirience this sa mga galant ninyo? ano or saan niyo pinagawa? thanks sa mga reply... :bald:

[boybi]

when i learned about the recall, that was around 2 yrs or so ago. visit any mitsu casa and inquire about it. pero nagpapalit ka na kamo ng suspension parts? baka napalitan na yung dapat palitan at nabayaran mo na rin. pwde mo kaya ipa-refund?
