#12 of 82 Dipping and swerving by diamoney Sep 05, 2006 (12:57 pm)
One more note, my rig also has an intermittant issue with on/off ramps.. It will seem to under-steer (from the back), if I make any sort of movement when continuing through an on/off ramp. I am not going excessivly fast, but it seems to want to sway left to right, sort of from the back.. almost to the point of loosing control.. And if I drive on Ice or snow, it seems to want to come out from under me, (fish tail of sorts) Could I guess at it? sure, maybe the rear struts, wheel drag, tires?? any help would be appreciated..

Replying to: diamoney (Sep 05, 2006 12:57 pm) Try pumping the rear tires up (only the rears) to 2-5 lbs over suggested, just as an experiment. You might have tires with very compliant sidewalls. The rear struts would have to be pretty much blown for them to contribute to that, but you are on the right track with that as well.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 06, 2006 3:20 pm) I usually run my rubber near the max posted on the side-wall.. (so close to 35-50 lbs) what is your next idea.. I tried to run less.. but it wants to get worse.. it is fine in the summer/dry-stuff... but if I hit the snow/rain.. it gets a bit exciting.. maybe new rubber???? your thoughts...

Replying to: diamoney (Sep 06, 2006 7:36 pm) are these factory original tires? How many miles on the car? Replies to this message: diamoney (Sep 07, 2006 4:46 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Sep 08, 2006 7:32 am)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 07, 2006 4:13 pm) I bought the car in 2002 and have only replaced the front rubber.. It had 56K on it when I bought it, and now shes turning 96K.. Not sure if they are factory or not, but I would not think so. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 08, 2006 7:32 am)

Replying to: diamoney (Sep 07, 2006 4:46 pm) Well at those miles you could definitely be considering rear struts. As for the tires, you'd need a tire shop to judge how strong the sidewalls are and how good the tires are. There's only a few ways the rear of the car can move around like that---weak sidewalls, worn struts, or some really loose bushings in the rear suspension (something fairly obvious).

Replying to: jefany4 (Nov 05, 2006 5:21 am) You'll have to ask the Mitsu dealer but you may be out of luck on this because it's so old...or if you can find the seller ask them if they wrote the code down somewhere in the owner's manual.

#21 of 82 Broken Front Bolt by cumbiamo Dec 12, 2006 (6:59 am)
Have a 94 Diamante with 156 K bought with 17K on it. One of the bolts from the front tire has broken off and needs to be replaced. The shop says it will be $90 for putting in a $4 bolt. Is this something I can do myself. I know it involves taking the caliper off ? Not worked on cars before but with Xmas trying to save. Thanks
