Suspension squeak recall

[trytin]

Just had a call from the stealer, they fixed the squeaky springs nearly 12 months ago with the fix kit from Mitso. Stealer said their is a new fix kit out and they want to have my car back to fit it. Said yes because it still does squeak a little when your getting in and out of the car but cant hear it when your driving. At least I will get my springs serviced for nothing. Any one else had the call ?

[Homer]

No, but mine will need the fix at the first service. Seems they still have the same problem.

Mine's going in for it's 1500k first wipe-over on monday (it's now done 2200km thanks to a trip to Dalby I just finished), so I'll suss this out then - any further details on it trytin? does it have a special name or require some kind of password for the dealer to know what I need fixing?

[spargo]

yep, my dealer knew about it and it will be dealt with on monday. he's a good fella.

[jop]

Which dealer are you using spargo?

Mine got done last week.

50k travelled on road only and still quite as a mouse. 1 trip to Moreton Island ( sand ) and squeakier than an old bed spring.

Stealer fixed it up though so am assuming I got thew latest and greatest.

He even noticed the rear end was down 5mm to standard and asked if I wanted it fixed but I said no as it was just the weight of the lpg tank .

All good.

Good News trytin.... i had this problem roughly 3000 km from new, small annoying squeak at every bump, even heard while the music/radio is on loud. mentioned this at the 15000 km service and they applied the hot fix, now at 24000 km i have the squeak again, but this time its also when i get in and out of the truck.

surely if its a recall they would be phoning us, but definitely will mentioned this if they don't call by the next service due at 30000 km.

Mine is booked in to get the squeek fixed next Tuesday - I hope they they have the latest fix

purchased new from Nundah Mitsubishi (Norris Motor Group).. they're just down the street from me so very convenient.

They'll only issue a formal recall if the problem was detrimental to the operation of the vehicle or safety of the occupants - the squeak is more a nuisance noise.

A bit like the power steering issue.

[Naff]

Haven't read that one ...

They'll do anything to save money - if you don't complain about the suspension, it won't get fixed.

Just use some spray grease! this will fix the problem! Spray it all over the leafs especially the "C" type clips this will eliminate that annoying squeak

I've been through about 5 cans of lithium grease in the last 9 months, it always fixes it until I go offroad then it comes straight back. Must get it to the dealer one day for the fix, the only reason I haven't bothered is cause I keep telling myself that I'll upgrade the suspension to fix the problem but that isn't happening in the near future

Had mine fixed at about 5000km and it came back after about a month so its going back to the dealer AGAIN soon

my rear springs started squeaking at 5000k,the dealer greased the affected areas to no avail,it then went to pedders to have them reset,still did not fix the squeak. mits then put new springs in with the kit and guess what,they still squeaked,back to the dealer again, it turned out to be the bushes that were the problem,the bushes themselves were in good order,just dry,so they got the grease and I have been squeak free for 6000k

i noticed a squeak in mine (MYO9 VR build date Jul 08) when jumping in an out via the tailgate. Don't hear it while on or off road though. Will see if they can look at it at the 15k service given I don't usually get to hear it and I'm only up to about 6,000 km so far.... :p

right. 1500km service done yesterday (at 2250), and 'apparently' my MY09 already had 'the fix' done at the factory, and hence there was nothing they could physically do to it yesterday - so they felt that they could do was lube everything up, and unfortunately it's still squeeking when getting in and out and when giving the tray a gentle rock..

oh well, will see how bad it gets over time.

[ML-VR08]

Ok i will say it ONE more time hahaha (use spray grease) it will fix it trust me!!! Its a $8 can of spray grease you can get from super shit auto!

Good man!

[TrickML]

I have the squeak in the rear suspension and my VR08 is fitted with the Ironman kit, anyone else have squeaks with Ironman suspension?

Mate I have the squeek with the Dobinsons.
Pain in the arse, looks like another phone call is in order

[Chaj]

yeah I have a squeak now I've dome 16000kms but only noticed it about 14K - time to sort this shit out I reckon - more of a nuisance than anything & sounds cheap and nasty.
