I have new front and rear ball joints and a full set of suspension bushings waiting for when I have time and slightly warming weather.
Reviews of Mitsuboshi parts For Business
Japan
I remember the salesman telling us when we bought our outlander XLS back in 2011 was that the were a spartan car company giving you every on the inside. But the doors felt thin to me. We bought it though and I have to say out of all the cars we owned the 5 and 5 and 10 year warranty were amazing. Also that SUV never gave us any issues. We did usual oil changes and had to change the brakes obviously. But nothing other than 1 recall that they took care of. Car was very well built I’d say compared to my Volkswagens Volvos and BMW and minis I’ve owned.
I'm currently at 189,177 miles on my original timing chain on my 2012 Lancer GT.
Mine has 130k miles on original chain.
I used to always go with OEM Honda parts for timing belt and water pump jobs. But the price of the OEM parts have gotten so high that I went with [this kit] on Amazon for my last TB job on my GSR, in late 2018. Mistuboshi timing belt, NPW water pump, GMB tensioner pulley. Those are all Japanese OEM parts suppliers, so I was comfortable using them. Almost 20k miles on thost parts now and everything is working great.
I have the 2015 Mirage with a manual transmission. I bought it used in 2017 with 20k miles. Paid $4000. It has 80k now. Only work I've done to it is brakes, tires and oil changes. I try to drive it to get 40 MPG. Its got a 9 gallon tank, which only cost 30 bucks to fill for a 315 miles range. Say what you will about it but it has saved me money. It does over 90 MPH on the freeway.
I tossed in a Mitsubishi 200 amp P71 alternator into an '06 Town Car after the original 6G on it failed. Very good output even at low RPM
A friend of mine has a '97 Montero Sport 3.0 V6/Auto. It's surprisingly good off road; he makes snow up in Northern NH for the winters and he's driven it up the slopes and through deep packed snow and it's always made it though. It's in decent shape and has lower mileage (130k or so), but it's starting to rust though on the bottom of the rear quarter panels. The under body and frame all have quite the bit of rust, and he's replaced everything brake wise (including lines) in the last 6 months or so. It gets terrible fuel economy even for an SUV, the earlier 3.0s have very low power and torque. Interior space is okay, it's decently comfortable. I believe the largest issue he's had with it so far in 2 years is both rear leaf springs have snapped some leaves, which appears to be a common issue. I think due to a poor previous repair, the clearcoat on the driver's fender and door is peeling.

He had installed an OEM manufacturer Mitsuboshi timing belt, and it snapped. Apparently it was a knock off. He reinstalled the old belt. I disconnected the injector to the cylinder with a bent valve, and drove it 200 miles home, on 5 cylinders. It actually ran better when I plugged the injector back in, When I got home.
