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:

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

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

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!

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.

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?

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.
