New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[august_gm]

Hi guys, gusto ko lang i-share yung ginawa kong remedy about the sqeaking sound sa strada natin, na locate ko yung akin sa may leaf spring, so what i did is i just applied a WD-40 on it. nawala agad yung 'eeek-eek-eek' na sound. 'Di lang ako sure kung gaano katagal ito bago bumalik yung sqeaking sound. Still ipapacheck ko parin sa 1km pms for long term solution.

Ask ko lang kung ok lang po ba i-apply yung lubricant dito sa part ng strada natin? TIA.

bro, di rin tatagal yan. ang pinakamaganda jan ay ibuka mo yan clamp na binugahan mo ng wd40, like what i did with my strada. permanent remedy na ang ginawa ko....wala ng eekk eekk eekk.......ipabuka mo lang yan. those plastic spacers in between the leafspring and the clamp yan ang problema di maganda ang plastic materials na nilagay nila jan maganit ...

Guys question po.

Normal ba na FC for GLS Sport A/T 6-7km/l city, 10-11km/l hway? Basis ko po dun sa trip computer.

Coz i got a friend that has a Montero GLS SE, sa kanya around 10km/l city
driving daw. Same engine, tranny, i think heavier pa Monty nya. So how come mas maganda FC nya. Does not compute talaga. :question:

Thanks in advance.

A Montero 2.5 does 8.4-8.6km/L in the city cycle. That's manually computed and not based on the trip computer.

mga bossing 85,000 kms na strada namin... okay pa rin naman ang hatak... sige kung sige... hahaha kung minsan umaatake nga lang pagkatopak ng SCV... pang umaarangkada bigla biglang humihina hatak saka biglang bibilis ulit (yun ba yun?)
isa ding problem yung squeaking sound sa leaf spring pero rinig lang naman pag naka open ang windows...
bukod dun, wala na...

hehehe kahit maghapon akong magdrive matutuwa pa ako basta strada ang gamit ko...

The problem with WD40 is that it dries up easily.

You need to use marine grade oil lubricant in paste form. United Bearing at Araneta Ave. sells them. I forget the brand.

Personally I would not put grease or paste on leaf springs unless the leafs are covered with a pouch. If you open the leafs; yes maybe a very thin film; if not they will then be magnet for dust and grit which will abrade the metal.
Best jack up one side and spray with WD40 or at most used engine oil mixed with diesel. Then jack up other side and repeat.

nag counterflow kasi, sumampa pa nga sa sidewalk yung strada, nakasalubong nya yung everest...
