Just got word from the Casa about the level difference between the left and right elevation of the truck (front and rear).

The factory (plant) engineer told them:
1. Front - Coil spring needs to be replaced
2. Rear - Leafspring (muelye) needs to be replaced

I was suprised to hear about it considering that its just a few mm difference, I thought that they will only do some adjustments.

Bad thing : I am suprised about the Quality Control of mitsubishi.
Good thing : They are replacing it.

So far, thumbs up for me.

Same thing happened to me sir.. Already got my unit Monday of this week.. Ok na! No more variance between left and right. Finally!

How long did it take for the replacement? I am still waiting for them to call me...waiting for the parts to arrive sa Casa.

Thanks po sir Don..

*mikko_018, welcome to a special group of people who love the strada- whether some of us own one or who are still drooling to have one (and will get theirs soon)

since u are from pangasinan, may i know if u got ur unit from Motorplaza- the franchised dealer for Mitsu for Northern Luzon? How were their sales practices/procedures? Was ur GLS without the ABS na (kasi to what i know, there were like 2 units of the old stock with the ABS - but i think its sold na)

do enjoy your Strada!

Nope. I do not know also. But since yung kay Louchua is fixed already, he can give us what he have.

You can try Miggyboy in Caloocan. I went there yesterday. They have fender flares pero na-out of stock lang. January pa daw yung padating nila from Thailand. Their price is significantly lower than Carryboy by around 20-30%. Wala silang rollbar. Sabi nung nakausap ko pinakyaw daw ng isang dealer sa Visayas/Mindanao, including the fender liner for strada. Pati iba nilang stock na accessories pinakyaw din, like window visor, nudge and bumper guard, body cladding, etc. Nagulat daw sila na may pumakyaw, implying that they did not realize that there are that much strada on the road. Sabi ko, pabiro, selling like hotcakes ang strada, hehehe.

BTW, congrats on your new strada.

Yes marami talaga pick-up sa mindanao, infact sabi sa mitsu cdo which is own by mitsu cebu that they are selling more strada compared to there cebu main office and visayas branches combine. kanina nga 16 strada gls 4x4 M/T binili nang del monte bukidnon. at nag realise pa ata kanina dalawa (speaking of hotcake).

Sabi din sa cousin ko who work in ford davao/gensan branch that there ranger is like selling hotcake, and same with other brand.

Mindanao is pickup land..hehehehehe

[LANPARTY]

Oh by the way if you travel between cagayan de oro to davao via bukidnon pass you are bound to encounter more pickups than a car or similar.

Thnx po sa info Sir LANPARTY and Sir ooba99 .

4 days sir.. brought it in last Wednesday, got it Monday of this week. Alam na sa plant yan so parts shouldn't be a problem. Napansin ko mas naging stiff ulit ang ride nung Strada ko, ok lang kasi bago naman hehe.

According to another forumer from Mymitsuph, who I think is one of the first ones to complain the height difference, the allowable variance should be less than 1cm. Mine is now * .7cm according to my Service adviser, this is from 1.7cm before the replacements. Hope this helps.
