New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[mdksael]

sir sael told me that by doing something to the clamp of the leaf springs that the noise will be eliminated, i wasn't sure what he was talking about but maybe some of the guys here know and elaborate more. it really is annoying, my truck already emitted the squeeking noise as early as a week old.

mga bro, base on my experienced, hinahanap ko kung saan nanggaling at nakita ko na yun leafspring clamp na dun nakalagay yun plastic spacer between the clamp and the leafspring. yun plastic spacer na yun, yun ang tumutunog mejo maganit o magaspang yun plastic materials na ginamit ng mitsubishi dun. yan din ang sinasabi ng casa ata na lalagyan silencer kit daw.,, kaya ang ginawa ko jan as per advice also by the maan arvin cristi., "pre luwagan mo lang yan clamp para di na aabot at mawawala na ang friction between the plastic spacer and leafspring" and after doing it nawala na yun tunog na parang tunog ng jeep.........hehehehehhe "good bye squaking sound"

Share ko lang recent experience ko. Last Saturday night, while driving my strada (2007 3.2 GLS Sport A/T) I experienced waxing and waning of power while accelerating at Nagtahan bridge which lasted for a few seconds then again it happened while at Gov. Forbes and this time my "check engine" warning light litted.

Earlier last month, I experienced the same, lasting only for a few seconds but did not recur after observing until this episode. Kinabahan ako ngayon kasi may kasama nang warning lights na hindi na namatay. I was able to drive my strada home in QC. I called my service agent and he volunteered to get my strada to bring it to Diamond Motors Q. Ave.

Monday, the casa checked and fixed my strada. The problem: Broken / clogged Suction Control Valve (SCV). The solution: They replaced it. The cost of replacement: FREE !!! kasi under warranty pa, hehehe. I was absolutely happy kasi my 3 years warranty will expire in 2 months at nakahabol pa.

So presently, my strada is in the pink of health.

Yun lang...

good to hear the good news sir, the SCV of my 2007 2.5 gls was also replaced and was still under warranty 2 months ago. the funny part was it was on its last week of warranty. i was so glad na pumasok pa.

Retrofitted my Strada with Projectors from Sir Gary of Honda Club and i'm very satisfied with the output. Grabe ang liwanag sa gabi. And oncoming vehicles wont be blinded because we aligned it responsibly. Here are some pics. Enjoy.









This was taken at 5:00pm. So mas maliwanag pa yan pag gabi na. =)

Sir monch5, ang ganda nang HL mo. Magkano na damage dyan?

[KCboy]

with regrads the retrofitting of the strada's headlights to projectors with hids, fully sealed po ba and sure na di magfofog up or moist yung inside ng lens?? because if it was siliconed, it might let moisture form thru time as the sealant will deteriorate due to the high temparature of the hid inside the headlight...

we used OEM sealant for the headlights, so i think there'll be no problem with moisture.

yes its really irritating, drove for a day my brother-in-laws' 2010 strada with barely 600kms on the odo and the damn leaf pack squeaks already. I think by putting graphite grease in between the leaf springs will eliminate this as we have done with old vehicles with leaf springs. but its messy and dirty looking.

good morning sir, why not bring to the dealer and let them fix it. if not, try spraying wd40 on the silencer kit. (rubber between leaf spring)
