    Would it really be worth going to mitsu about it? Cause really its only out 0.07 of toe on that right side.

    I wonder what would happen if u shoved 4 adults and threw it on the rack what would happen..

    Same with Bill's above.

    Notice the white lettering(not good) vs.black characters where it is within specs on his attached print.

    0.07° does not sound like much but that is past the already generous edge of specs.
    Have not tried 4 adults but when I pull down on the rear of the car,both toe and camber gets worse.

    Yeah, lowering it made the toe worse on my last one. I'll be demanding a replacement rear axle with how bad the toe is on this one with OEM springs.

    Will Mitsubishi actually replace the beam axle?

    I'm going to keep on them until they do, saying I didn't drop $15k on a new car for it to be defective and to be told there's nothing that can be done!

    I agree with 3dplane. It's out of spec and it's a new car. So, they have to fix it.

    Im going to call them about it and see what will happen.

    I cant afford to pay anything atm (job loss no jobs) so if its going to cost anything to check it out (which it probably will knowing my dealers) i may have to wait.

    My dealership has my mirage for the airbag light and turn side marker turn signal, they just called me asking about aftermarket parts I've added to the car, waiting for them to call me back. I'm sure they are going to try to deny my airbag light repair because of oil pressure/oil temp gauge install.

    They just called me back and aside I have to remove all the after market items such as gauges and dash cam wiring in order to warranty the air bag light? I told them the light came on before the aftermarket was added
