Galant

  • miles
Front brakes doing 100% of braking, rear brakes never set to contact drums. Rotors replaced 7 to 8 times in past few years while rear brakes have never been replaced. I stopped going to boch Mitsubishi and went to a brake specialist who told me the brake system was no good and the rear brakes had zero wear on them after 3 years. I have been lied to by this dealer too often. I went in for a lower balljoint recall and was told they were fine but my inner tierods needed replacing due to looseness. I went to my brake man who told me the tierods were in proper working order and did not need replacing.
