Hey everyone i need help is there any signs that you hear before your timing belt i have 73k on the factory belt
 
You should change your belt immediately. If your belt goes, you could have piston smashing valves and that = no good.

Mitsu suggest replacing at 60K. I suggest you do it now sir.

Oh and have fun too. :)
 
just got mine done at a local Satan for $300 out the door. They did excellent work. You may here a ticking noise as the rivets in the belt become worn down. As dr1665 said, don't LOLly gag about changing the belt because you could drop the engine just driving normally on the freeway. Make sure you have your water pump and tensioners looked at as well.

Good Luck
