#150 of 891 Whole Lot of Shakin goin on by bigeasyal Feb 03, 2000 (2:09 pm)
It is the tires. There is another Montero Sport Bulletin Board at www.montero-sport.com with lengthy discussions by MS owners. Check it out. Not only is it the Yokahoma brand but the size of the tire itself. The problem seems to be only on 1999 vehicles though. What I have gotten from technicians at two dealerships is that the profile of the tire is too short and wide for the rim size. If you replace the tire with a taller profile this will automatically reduce the width problem. Should you keep the same tires, you need to have the alignment set at a negative toe-in or caster. This will move the tire out a bit and assist in reducing tire vibration. This is not a problem on the 2000 MS since Mitsubishi has went to a 16 inch rim. Mitsubishi went so far as to begin installing Bridgestone tires on all 2000 MS as well, because of the negative feelings on the Yokahoma tires.
#151 of 891 Wind noise by wilson21 Feb 05, 2000 (5:31 pm)
This may sound strange, but we usually put our back right window down for our dog, and the air coming in feels like our ear drums are going to blow out from pressure or what we dont know?????? It's like a thumping in our ear, but obviously difficult to describe. Has anyone else experienced the same thing at all???

Wilson21 you may want to crack open your front windows a slight amount to even out the air pressure. I have a GMC Jimmy (trading this summer for a '00 MS Ltd) and I have the same problem with wind. Try that out, but if you have the windows open already then see your friendly service manager. Happy trails.
#153 of 891 Hey all you Montero Owners !! by king1 Feb 06, 2000 (11:28 pm)
Don't you just love the T.V. commercial where the guy is working out at the gym and they anounce "who left your lights on in the Minivan">>>> Shoot me before I ever buy a Minivan..... By the way I had a 1995 Full size Montero for four years, one of the best vehicles I ever owned..

Hi, I'm wondering what type of auto tranny fluid is used in late model('97+) Monteros. I'd really appreciate it if you can look it up in the owner's manual for me. Thanks.
#155 of 891 Montero Sport Commercial by aling1 Feb 07, 2000 (7:02 am)
Yes, it is an interesting commercial. But, what they don't tell you is that the Montero Sport crash tested <http://www.hwysafety.org/vehicle_ratings/ce/mid_suvs/montero_sport.htm> with poor results (nearly the worse of the pack; the GMC Jimmy and Chevy Blazer twins were the worse), so its not really in tuned with Mitsubishi promoting it as a family vehicle. I'd take my chances in a minivan (except the GM ones) over the Montero Sport any day. This is all, of course, just my opinion. Those of you that are considering buying this vehicle in the near future should definitely keep this in mind. I like the new 2001 Montero with the rear independent suspension much better. But, it is a lot more expensive.

#157 of 891 Good data Al by jed62454 Feb 08, 2000 (4:58 pm)
Big Easy Al, Read your note about buying a 2000 LTD. My '98 Montero Sport lease is about to expire and I am looking for a new one (live in Louisiana). Interested in the dealers you FAX'd to in NOLA area & who got the order. Also, heard of the Mitsubishi "loyalty" rebate? One person said it was worth up to $1000. My thanks - jed62454
