As stated in the maintenance guide, the very last thing is to call your Local Mitsu dealer and make sure the ball joints have been replaced due to a recall on them. I did this, and they told me there was no recall on the car what so ever. Could it have been because it has been to long? I'm assuming that after so many years they retract the recall assuming everyone has more than likely replaced theres, just want to make sure so I can check it off my list!
