| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2003 mitsubishi lancer. axle bearing failed on passenger side. i replaced it. inner tie rod tore out of outer tie rod. i replaced them. for safety reasons i decided to replace the correspond drivers side parts. when i started to remove the hub assembly the drive axle fell from the car in three pieces. no local or national chain could locate the axle which they all said cost about $75.00.mitsubishi told me it would be $753.00. while i agree that i have no choice but to replace the failed part, i also feel a file should be opened since this represents a safety issue. *tr |
