    Okay, they're going to be installing a new axle on mine next week. They did some retorquing on the original one and got the toe a little better, but its still out, and now the left side camber is out too. At least I'm finally getting the replacement.

    Hi. I had issues getting the picture to post. Sorry! Here it is. Not perfect, but better than before, and hopefully doesn't get banged out of position on a pothole. Name:  1438857803668.jpg

    Right front and rear camber are right there, but still in specs. Glad that this problem is being solved.

    Mitsubishi District Manager here said that they are in fact changing the design of the axle.

    Mine is currently sitting at mitsu getting the axle looked at as we speak. To see another one replaced is good! And only adds more ammo to my case!

    Tho they did seem upfront that if its out they will replace.

    It is! At least that's what the Service Manager said that the DM confirmed to him last week. The DM is reticent to authorize a replacement axle for me with the same current model because it could come faulty too or bend later. Now I don't know if push for an immediate replacement or wait god knows how long for a better axle.
