    Triton steering problems, spring sag

    Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Advice Mitsubishi Triton Mitsubishi Triton Advice Mitsubishi Triton 2014

    I bought a 2014 Mitsubishi Triton last August and it's now done 49,000km. I have just had new tyres fitted and a wheel alignment done, and the car is pulling to the left slightly and is light on the steering, and also oversteers into corners. I took it back to have it checked and it was pointed out that my rear springs were bending the wrong way, about 20mm in the centre unloaded, and it was suggested that this was the problem. Would this be the cause, or has the alignment not been done correctly?

    The rear springs have sagged, which is common on the Triton and some other Mitsubishi models. It could well be the cause of your problem. Most owners choose to fit uprated springs to their vehicles, particularly if they're carrying loads.
