Hi there I'm no expert like the others on here but I don't think the part that causes the suspension fail, the bushes, has actually worn out. I think it is in the original design of it that it causes too much movement and is failing testing. I have since heard of dealers in Ireland replacing...

Just to finish I will say that it was a reputable Mitsubishi Dealer and I wasn't charged for any of the replacement parts so they weren't trying to take money off me. But I do think they were generally dismissive of the imbalance readings, wanting to blame the nct testing equipment and wanted to...

Yes Mr Netherlands. That's exactly what I'm trying to say. :shock: The imbalance was caused by something other than the two main suspension parts! Which turns out to be the bushings.

Just be aware that I got the rear suspension and springs replaced and still got high imbalance reading. So just saying 'worn out shock absorber' does not take into account which part is worn out. It turns out there is an issue with the Bushings in these cars I believe.

Hi I can't work out how to insert an image so this is a quote from the NCT website who are the Vehicle roadworthy testing provider in Ireland. "The suspension Test: The suspension test plates measure the movement of the suspension on each wheel and compares the readings for both wheels on a...

Hi Bob Since my post, I think there have been a few other cases, your car being one of them. At the time, my father-in-law, who works in motor parts said he'd heard there was a flaw with the 'bushing' "Bushings are cushions made of rubber, polyurethane (often shortened to “poly” or “urethane”)...

Hi Hoping someone can give me a bit of advice on my rear suspension. 2015 model, UK model imported into Ireland. I underwent my NCT (National Car Testing requirment) test in January and the rear suspesion failed with a reading of 45Mm with imbalance of 33% (a pass is 30%). I went back to...
