Mitsubishi Triton Recalled

[SIZE=3]By Garreth Miers | [/SIZE][SIZE=4]June 2nd, 2010[/SIZE]










[SIZE=5]Although Japanese rival Toyota may have been stealing the limelight with its vehicle recalls and perceived quality issues, Mitsubishi is seemingly joining the new fad.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]Mitsubishi has announced today the recall of over 42,000 Triton Models manufactured between October 2006 and January 2009.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]Mitsubishi has discovered bolts attaching the ball joints to the front suspension may not be correctly tightened. As a result these bolts may come loose causing a severe knock in the front suspension. It is also noted that in a worst case scenario the bolts may detach, rendering the car undriveable .[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]We do have to wonder how an issue like this could go unnoticed for over 2 years? Did it take two years of driving for the bolts to properly loosen?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]Recalls of the Triton are set to begin June 11, where owners will be required to take their Triton into a Mitsubishi Dealer for an inspection and re-tightening of these bolts[/SIZE]

nakakaadik pala yung hatak ng strada, lalo na pag sa SLEX, sarap patakbuhin ng matulin. hehe. Matagal na akong lurker dito sa thread na 'to, i hope na maka-join ako sa strada club soon.

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.

Salamat sa input Sir cheeky! Sa akin rin GLS Sport 3.2L MT Black. Yun sa akin propose gamitin eh Motul synthetic oil... di sila pumayag... mag sa sign daw ko ng waiver!

Sir xtr sultan swerte ka... bat naman non synthetic oil pinagamit sa yo ay recco ng Mitsu ay synthetic oil pag ka alam ko! Correct me if i'm wrong.

+1 ako dyan, Sir! Nakaka-addict talaga, when I tested how fast it can go, umabot ako ng 160kph sa SLEX at Greenfield Sta. Rosa. Ako na ang umayaw pero kaya pa nga Strada. I did not realize that was doing 160kph had I did not look at the speedometer. Sobrang stable and smooth...

Sa wakas after 1 month of waiting, got my unit yesterday. White GLx. Tamang tama as a Bday gift to me from me he he he. Hihirit na lang kay misis nang flarings and R20's (Bday gift nya ha ha ha)... Goodluck to me...sana maapproved...

congrats sir, it's worth-it for your waiting, lagyan na ng TSCP sticker yan strada mo :D

[bigtrak]

-----:hi:-----

wow sir oooba is back

[pransis]

just notice makapit / malagitgit yung wiper ng GLX, or sa akin lang ganito? pano po workaround dito mga sir. thanks!

ganyan din sa akin sir. GL ang strada ko. nagpalit na ko ng wiper blade pero ganun pa din. tingin ko kelangan i-buff yung windshield para hindi na malagitgit yung wiper.

[gdown]

[ooba99]

wow sir oooba is back

===== :2thumbsup: =====

[flimsy]

guys with AT...am just wondering if normal na hindi smooth ang shifting...may tug during shifting with slight noise

[G01]

===== :2thumbsup: =====

Nice to see you back on line, doc!

[ThePatriarch]

doc ooba99! parang tahimik ka ata ah... or busy pa back reading?

[nismo26]

saan po base mindanao chapter sir?

me mga members na tayo from gensan, pagadian, cdo, butuan, pero yung eb natin, madalas sa davao..

gls sakin. gusto ko kasi all-terrain tires eh. yung kitang-kita ang tire threads. im thinking bout pirelli pero baka mahal masyado. ok din yun dueler.
may iba pa ba? na maganda tingnan ang threads na all-terrain tire?

try mo yung michellin a/t.. yung 265/70/r16
ok rin mickey thompson, kaya lang order pa and wala sa davao..

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!

me counter weight din yung strada ko, more or less 80kgs yun.
pag gagamit ka ng k&n filter, balik mo lang yung stock air filter mo pag mag pa service ka..

kaibiganin mo lang ang SA mo bro, im sure kahit anong oil pa yan, pwedeng pwede...

mag dadala na ako ng oil ko..

goodluck sa pagdala mo ng oil bro, malufet sila sa karasia davao...
much better karasia tagum, pero ang layo na nun.. hehehe

befriend ka muna sa mga SA... me kasamang tip dapat...

Billet grilles 2009 strada,

Noted that the original billet grille of strada is chrome, pinatungan lang ng blackish paint sa casa or somewhere. I want to restore the chrome plating of the grille by removing the black paint coating, kaya lang reluctant to use paint remover baka masira din ang chrome plating, has anybody tried removing the black paint? ano ang ginamit ninyo ?

Thanks for any feedback.
