I suggest staying away from speculating on motives and focus on the topic. It is quite easy to scroll past postings we don't wish to read.  tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |

2007 XLS Oultander. 20K mi. "Ollie" has developed a rather annoying THUMP sound in wheel,tire, or suspension that goes on up to approx. 25-30 mph. I have had all tires checked, balanced,rotated,etc. Neither the dealer or Tires Plus has been able to find the problem, Dealer is going to contacty a factory rep re:this. ALSO, steering wheel "clock" spring has been replaced and I still get a "click-click" sound  slow speed turning. any ideas out there? OllieXLS2007

Replying to: solowalker (Jun 30, 2008 12:06 pm) This sound began as I left the dealership after getting the oil changed and nitrogen put into the tires. I don't see how nitrogen could make a noise.??? My wife told me today that she heard a loud 'clunk" while trying to get out of a crowded parking lot..had the steering wheel cranked all the way and the car wouldn't even move until she backed off the wheel a bit..that's when she heard the noise. I have read other messages re: this "new" mysterious sound and will see if I can get to the bottom of it...Still waiting for the Mitsubishi rep re:tires and steering click. PS 22,000 miles since Sept.4,2007 ...purchased it new.

Replying to: olliexls2007 (Jul 02, 2008 7:44 pm) This is coming back every few months, with new owners: "...Just bought an 08 Outlander SE 4 cyl with cvt. There is a light single clunk or tap when I pull away. It only happens after the car is started. In other words, it will not make the noise putting it into drive from park or neutral. You must turn the ignition on and put it in drive and then you get one clunk as you give it a little gas to pull away. Any thoughts? Replying to: bozzy1 (Mar 27, 2008 3:45 pm) Yes, we already talked about this few months back. It is ABS self test, and it happens every time you restart the car. Check your service manual as well for detailed explanation. " Can it be your problem as well? As far as your tires, have your dealer tried to swap a set of tires, just to be sure ?

Replying to: piast (Jul 03, 2008 5:20 am) I have an appt this Fri and they will put 70+ lbs in all tires , run it til tires heat up then "force balance" the tires (balance them while they are on the SUV). I still think it may ahve something to do w/the nitro and maybe they overinflated a tire or whatever. |

Replying to: solowalker (Jun 30, 2008 12:06 pm) I have now been told that the Mit Raiders sat on lots for a loooong time and the tires developed a "flat" spot and that the "fis" is as follows: they inflate tires to 70+lbs run it until tires heat up "force balance" the tires (balance on the SUV) then, put in proper air pressure sounds like tire voodoo to me.
