That's a super useful post, and my Dad had a wheel fall off his truck after going to the shop, so you're right, trusting yourself over the so called experts. My Mirage was always serviced at the Mitsu Jaguar so the mechanics were doing Lancer Evos and brand Jags all the time, I figure they know what they're doing. Volvos too actually no more 7 seater wagon
One thing Oil-related about... where I live cold climate you have to get it krown rust controlled on any cheaper mitsubishi or hyundai too is toast eventually.
