    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
