Suspension Problem major repair..

[Beefy]

i sent my Pajero to Mitsubishi for tuneup. They found some problems with suspension. Some parts need to be replaced such as the following:

1. Upperarm assembly
2. Lower ball joint
3. Inner and Outer Tire rod
4. PipMan(??) arm
5. Idler arm

These will total to 30K+ including labor. I didn't seem to notice or experince any problem with the suspension. Should I trust Mitsubishi and go ahead with the replacement of the parts?

Thanks

Expensive because they are quoting all original parts.

Better if you have someone who you trust take a look at it and give you a second opinion.

better ask for second opinion.

HTH

sa goodyear servitek ka na lang o kaya kela chiefy!

mahal nyan pre!

[Beefy]

Pero hindi ba mas ok kung sa Mitsubishi gawin para may warranty at sigurado ang gawa?

[wreckless]

i think afrasay's cousin ferdie can do those repairs..try to contact sir Alfred.
mahal nga nung 30K IMO.

I had a Pajero done in JP Wheels in Paranaque and changed almost the same parts. Used a mixture of OEM and 555 parts and it cost less than half if you search for the parts in Banawe,

30K hmmm may spoiler and foglamps na ako niyan plus sound setup he.hehe. mahal nga.. if its okay 4 you.. sa servitek mo na lang ipagawa then genuine parts pa rin bilhin mo..

[Beefy]

Parts alone will cost 20k then labor 10k .. so if i get all original parts, it will still cost a minimum of 20k kahit sa servitek or sa iba ko pagawa..

Do you thik pag sinabi ng mitsubishi kailanagn palitan, dapat na talaga palitan?

Have you encountered any incident na nang-goyo ang casa?

[roydok]

Definitely gold standard ang Mitsubishi pagdating sa parts and labor. The problem is the labor since most of the time ay twice more compared sa labas. The cheaper option is to use replacement parts (if available and have it installed outside. Try the suggestions mentioned above.

30t is too much for suspension work. ang daming magaling gumawa ng suspension ng PAJ sa labas ng casa. first of all, make sure all these parts "really" need to be replaced.

i had mine done in banawe early last year using genuine 555 parts (mayroon fake kasing 555 eh). pitman arm, idler, tie rod ends, upper and lower ball joints, etc... although all the bushings were bought at el-dorado (a mitsu parts dealer).

i had my Paj done at motorcraft in banawe. they also do wheel alignment which you will need after an intensive suspension work. so far, so good - no problems whatsoever.

[Beefy]

Woodfire, how much did it cost you? Safe ba dun sa banawe?

[momoyster]

ok naman yung 555 parts basta genuine. dati sa gen 1 namin, puro 555 ang gnamit namin na tierod ends, idler arm, and pitman arm. no problems whatsoever, driver lang namin ang nagpalit kac automotive course graduate e.

[notEworthy27]

second opinion! nadali nako sa mitsu. orig nga tibak ka naman sa presyo! marami dyan! ang laki ng gastos ko sa leaf spring...ngek!

[promdiboy]

casa experience
nagpa overhaul kami ng pajero gen 2 sa casa. cost us 170th lahat parts and labor and towing. mitsu pampanga. after 2 wks use tumirik sa nlex. sabi sa machine shop daw ang may problem. pero under waranty siya.

[afrasay]

Pa check mo muna sa servitek (ako sa marcos hiway), then palitan mo yun parts na sinabi nila sa labas (ferdie) then ibalik mo sa kanila for alignment.

[OTEP]

Just use genuine Three-Five (555) products instead. I replaced all my ball joints, the idler arm, and even the front shocks. I did not even come to half that amount including labor (I had it done at GlennSter's shop).

Have your idler arm checked. It could be as simple as a Php 150.00 bushing which the techs at Mitsubishi are to lazy to take out and replace so they are charging you for a new one.

The upper arm assembly also has replaceable bushings.

A lot of people hare at Tsikoteers have their own shops which can help you with your problems. Just ask around.

yep ako din 555 ang ginamit ko sa L200 ko last year when i had my suspension repairs sa Servitek marcos hi-way. Pitman arm, idler arm, stabilizer bar (tama ba to?) etc. Sabay sabay. It only cost me 7k kasama na labor dito. Up to now oks pa naman.

[Maki]

yah have it checked outside, i bet kaya pinapapalit yung upper arm mo is because sira yung bushing, and they sell the bushing with the upper arm, 5k++ each, wat i did was get bushings from el dorado them had a machine shope press it back..kelangan tlga machine shop, bushings cost mga 700-750 each, tapos machine shop and reinstall mga 300-500 ata for all 4 ata... u'll need 4 bushings

Thanks everyone!

where can I buy cheap 555 parts?
