Snap crackle POP

[Nanan]

So I just drove to work and pulled into the parking lot when I hear a loud pop, I think ok that was odd. I continue the next 15' to my parking spot when I hear a crack/pang sound as the drivers side front smashes into the ground. ####! I slam the gas and force the car the next 5' into my spot and get out. Sure enough the drivers side front wheel is cocked to the side like this / ... I had the recall crap for LCA done 2 years ago man wtf.

I talked to the owner of the dealership and he was actually a cool guy. He has a 97 GSX so he knew exactly what was wrong the second he saw my car leaning to the DS front. Anyway, the car sat overnight till today when the dealership guy got ahold of MMA and they talked about what was going to be covered for the LCA recall. Turns out they are going to fix EVERYTHING including the fubared front bumper from dragging the car off the flatbed so I will be getting new control arms, balljoints, carrierbearing/axle, hub/bearings, spindle, fender/fender skirt/inner fenderwell, he said they will also replace the pass side lca as it also is showing signs that something is not right.

All in all I am very happy how this mitsu dealer is talking care of the problem. I just wish the other dealership would of just replaced the arms so it would not of gote this far.



Pix of the damage.

The body has 158,XXX miles on it, the trans has about 15k on it and the engine about 10k. The thing is the LCA were both replaced 2 years ago, they have nifty little red mitsu stickers on em and everything.
