forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?T=231553&page=1&pp=15 some guys reported some problems with their front suspension on the Lancer ralliart. So far they have pics and info of 3 cases. They reported some metal sound before the failure. I have a 2004 Lancer sportback that have a strange metal sound in the front suspension area. A Mitsubishi service shop checked the wagon but could not find anything wrong some weeks ago. The metal sound is worst now and I am afraid that something like that could happen to me.
