New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[ThePatriarch]

Ewan ko nga sir napakamot na lang ako ulo sa naging dahilan nung SA ko. Mga tao pa nga nya mismo ang nagtanong bakit daw ganun unlevel yung height, kawawang mga tagasunod walang natututunan hehehe..

Hayaan mo sir sundin ko advise mo this weekend siguro ko uli ibalik yung unit... nice to hear po na ok na unit nyo, atleast nabawasan pag-aalala ko kahit pano most of the owners that encountered this problem eh naayos naman. thanks sir!

yes sir... may pinapalitan lang sila sa suspension and so far ok naman na after that... anyway covered naman ng warranty yan so no worries. if you want, print the picture that tancho_kuhaku posted and show it to your dealer. if im not mistaken, ako yata ang nagpost nun after diamond motors marcos hiway had corrected the uneven height of my strada. that would guide your dealer on the correct part number to install and as proof that free yan as part of the warranty.

yun nga lang hindi ready available ang ganyang parts sa mga dealers... be patient lang kasi it may take a few weeks to order them sa planta. keep us posted here for any developments sa ride mo

sir nanpaultan - we share the same sentiment po. But i got mine two weeks ago pa lang pero pansin mo na unlevel na height nya at the back.




sir siomai- So 10mm is that maximum tolerable difference? usually, magkaiba ang bagsak ng height from front to rear - ilan ba sir sukat ng difference ng front and rear sa unit mo?

Want to share to all strada club members my problem.

Had my 1000km service yesterday at Motorplaza Baguio, ok naman ginawa change oil (mineral) and oil filter then checkup. Saka inireklamo ko na rin sa kanila yung unlevel height and squecking sound sa likod ng unit ko.
They fixed the squeking sound niluwagan nila both U bolt sa may banda gitna ng leafsprings. But what made me disappointed was when the service advisor said that "he is not aware of any issues regarding the unlevel height and said they haven't received any memo or newsletter concerns to that problem from the plant". Wala man lang ginawa para icheck yung unit kung bakit ganun ikinatwiran pa na normal lang daw dahil mabigat yung fuel tank.

Casa made the measurement, yung unit ko difference of 1.5 inches sa rear and .5 inch/5cm sa front. Any suggestion po from you, para aksyunan ng casa dito sa Baguio problem ko. Many thanks po!

yes sir, normal sa strada yun kasi lagi may laman ang fuel tank and may driver. kaya nga ire-repair.. ganyan din ka-tanga sagot ng SA ko sa diamond c5. you can forward it to the parts/service area and to the warranty office. dati and harap ko bagsak ng mga 5-6 inches and ang likod mas konti naman. yung measurements ninyo dapat na nila palitan. mali na yan! normal nga sa strada but hindi normal sa mga ibang pick up, you should follow up on it dahil mali talaga. if under diamond motors sila you can tell them to ask many diamond dealers around metro manila dahil sobrang daming strada na ang nagpapaayos ng same problem. medyo mis-educated talaga ang mga tao ng mitsubishi phils dahil hindi naman talaga sila mitsubishi main and dealers lang naman sila. medyo magulang talaga pero ganyan talaga. hassle. aprox ngayon mga 2cm bagsak sa harap ko and 2-3cm sa likod. pinalitan na and all pero wala parin. also, dapat sir hindi kayo pumayag na i-alter nila ang bakal ng molye ninyo dahil na sacrifice and structural integrity niya. they can always order parts and meron mitsubishi leaf spring silencer kit talaga.
sir, try to request po for new coil springs and rear leaf springs. may nagpost ng resibo dito dati which shows the right parts. check it out for reference. sana maayos yan agad because i do not believe, even if they say so, that it is still safe to run normally. it's the suspension for crying out loud! ingat po!

hi fellow BOSBs tanong ko lang if do you have any contact information sa primal enterprises? thanks paki PM nalang po

sir just saved this pic kasi nag papa change din ako ng shocks kahit na very minor lang yung uneven height got this dito lang din sa forums i forgot who's pic is this lang nga so to the owner thanks!



ito daw yung right color coding sa springs para ma even height sa strada natin. i hope tama yung narinig ko

Ako ang nagpost nyan mga sir! Hehe! Sa Diamond C5 yan! Ok naman so far yung strada ko nung naayos na yan! Mag 19,000 kilometers na ako in 2 days cguro! 6 months pa lang unit ko! hehe!

Thank you mga sir for the replies and some advice. i will print one of that posted pics, ngayon may katibayan na ako dun SA ko na nangyayari na pala ganitong problema at inaayos na by some dealers. I don't know why motorplaza baguio is not aware of this problem, natutulog ata yung mga mokong hehehe...

Buti sir apollo_kafka na-post mo yang pics ng receipt mo from casa, it serve as proof and guide which is very helpful to us owners na ngayon lang nagrereklamo ng ganitong problem sa unit.

Sir siomai- ibig mong sabihin sir di pwede yung ginawa nila pagbuka ng konti dun sa U-bolt, tsk...tsk... sabi ng casa yun daw ginagawa nila sa mga unit that exprienced squecking sound sa leafsprings. i think baka ganun din ginawa sa unit ni sir GO1.

Nasabi ko na rin sa isa sa mga service advisors doon yung problem about the uneven height sa Strada. Yung sa akin is 1/2 " and difference sa front which I think is not a big deal. Yup, binuka nila yung clamp sa leaf springs ng Strada ko. What I did after makita ko yung comment ni sir Dadz na dapat daw hindi binuka is I hammered them back pero I allowed a little bit of slack para mawala yung squeaking noise. Check mo yung unit mo kung meron na silencers yung clamps kasi yung sa akin meron nang silencers pero nag-squeak pa rin. Nawala yung noise nung binuka yung clamps.

Guys,

Recently, I increased my tire pressure from 30psi to 36psi front, 32psi to 40psi rear, due to frequent heavy payload (buying house construction materials). At these tire pressures, there was only minimal change in the ride, but, I gained 1-2km/L diesel savings. When I'm done, I think I will maintain my tire pressures to 34 front and 38 rear (good fuel savings with still good ride) BTW, I use nitrogen.
