New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[jokulit]

ask ko ulit mga sirs, wala kayong problem sa steering wheel? hindi naka center talaga? mine kasi is pointing a notch to the right. very noticeable during faster runs on straight and even roads.

you need to have your wheels aligned sa casa kung under warranty pa. i had mine aligned during my 1k pms, ok na ngayon, wala ng gawi, sentro na din steering wheel.

[jokulit]

sa servitek pwede magpa-align, tanong mo lang muna kung alignment lang ang kailangan o may kasama camber correction. may extra charge kasi pag kasama camber correction.

loko kasi tong sa casa eh. sabi nila normal na daw na hindi naka center ang steering wheel basta hindi kumakabig.
btw, under warranty pa unit ko.

anong camber correction sir? di ako bihasa sa technicalities. anong gagawin dyan?

anong casa nyo sir? hindi normal kung hindi naka-center, dapat nga centered yung steering wheel at walang kabig pag kuha natin ng bagong unit.

anyway, wheel alignment is done when a wheel, or two, is pointing towards the left or right while the steering wheel is on center position. camber correction is done when a wheel, or two, is tilted inward or outward. both conditions can cause your unit not to travel in a straight line while in a straight and level road.

pero mas common, alignment lang ang solution.

[jokulit]

mas mahal pag may kasamang camber correction, plus P1200 for front wheels alone.

[jokulit]

under warranty ka pa naman so sa casa mo na lang ipagawa. ask your SA kung sino ang ok na service supervisor para matino kausap.

aesthetics lang talaga yung pagka center ng steering wheel. kung hindi siya center, its ok. walang added damage or wear and tear sa kotse just as long as aligned yung wheels mo. mas importante yung gulong mismo.

kung may warranty, why nat, poknat. pa ayos mo na. hehe

for glx mags, ill stick with 245/70/16

thanks sa comments on what tires to buy. looks like i'll play it safe with 245s.

based lang on my cacluation, mas malapit sa original diameter (wheel + tire) kung 245/65/16. pero of course kung puede 245/70/16, mas mahal pero mas tipid sa gas.

BC 10 sa gilid tapos BC 20 sa windshield at sa likod. Ok naman visibility pag gabi... problem lang pag mag isa ka sa madilim na highway, di mo kita yung sa likod mo pag titingin ka sa rear view mirror. Yung sa gilid medyo ok naman. Pag naka high naman kasalubong mo.. tolerable naman pero at some point masisilaw ka pa rin... pero kinumpara ko dun sa isang sasakyan namin na pangit yung tint.. mas ok yung sa Strada ko.

ok sir. thank you for ur response.

[hy-n-dry]

Saka pala, can anyone recommend a good insurance company and agent? Salamats

not yet a strada owner ( pa order pa lang).. i've had very good experience with pioneer insurance.. when my '09 lancer was damaged by ondoy last year-- pioneer, after getting my dealer's recommendation for a "total loss", paid me within three weeks.. what was even better was 30k lang naging depreciation sa amount..

my dealer was diamond greenhills.. i highly recommend them.. always showed good service and after sales in my case.. even my claims with the insurance co. was initiated and processed by them..

the sales staff attending to me is ms. mirma cruz.. super talaga after sales support nya.. sya pa tumawag sakin after ondoy to check how they could help..

i'm buying a strada through her again this time.. di kayo magsisi sa asikaso nya mga bro.. pati pag may pagawa kayo..

Mga Sirs... salamat sa lahat! I think it took me almost five weeks sa kahihintay ng GLS sport via Avescor Iloilo. Nakuha ko yong unit last May 13... mileage: 43 km, one day rest pag dating ko sa amin. Very impressed with the unit indeed! I bought the Strada based on what i read in this forum and comments here... for the record i never drive a Strada until the time SA give me the key... and off i go... after several minutes of driving... a happy man! Tried D max, Hilux and Navara before... until almost deciding either with hilux or navara, well until i stumble with tsikot.

In my two weeks of driving... observation ko lang... the 3.2L gls sport has much quicker response(sprint) than Navara or Hilux, fuel consumption is 9.8 km/li considering my place is 70% sand/gravel road and feel/ride like a car sa driver pero matagtag rin sa passenger cabin... na improve ng lagyan ko ng 1 sack of sand sa cargo bay.

Tanong ko lang: bakit parang malaki ata yong gulong ng 2.5L Montero? At parang mahal ata yong first 1K ko na change oil(XP turbo ata yon) at filter change lg cost me PHP5,800! At saka sabi ng SA ma void daw warranty pag gumamit ako ng Motul o K & N air filter... dapat lg daw yong sa kanila lg na oil/filter gagamitin!

Maraming Salamat Gid!

Same thing happened to me during first 1K PM, paid 5800+ also for the oil and filter using casa supplied turboXP. Baka raw mavoid warranty ko if gumamit nonsynthetic oil. Nagiging maingay raw makina using low grade oil.

Note: 8L is enough to fill 3.2L machine of GLS Sports, inuwi ko yung sobra na 1L kse 9L pinabayaran sa akin.

By the way, mine is GLS Sports 3.2L MT 4x4.

[binzur]

*cheeky parang umingay nga yung makina... ung mineral oil lang kasi ang ginamit nung nagpa 1k pms ako dahil sa mga nabasa ko.. now at my 3,500kms and will still be using mineral oil pag 5k pms... but hindi na yung sa mitsubishi.. mag dadala na ako ng oil ko..

uhm, mga sir.. wala po ako alam sa tires... its been 2 months na naghahanap ako ng montero rims w/ tires with no luck.. T.T may nakapagsabi sakin na rota nalang and nakita ko yung lightning na rims nila sa kanilang website.. but i have problem with the Bolt Pattern and Offset, hindi ko alam ano dapat. ano po dapat ilagay sa strada?. and planning to pair it with bridgestone dueler a/t.. pa help po pls T.T
