I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 1994 MITSUBISHI GALANT LS ,AND I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, OURISMAN MITSUBISHI, LAST YEAR CONCERNING THE LOWER ARM BALL JOINT. IT WAS DETERMINED THERE THAT THE BALL JOINT WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. AFTER HAVING MY CAR INSPECTED BY MY PRIVATE AND CERTIFIED MECHANIC HE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE THIS VERY PART. THE MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE BALL JOINT IS IN SERIOUS NEED OF REPLACEMENT.*AK

I BOUGHT MY 94 MITSUBISHI GALANT IN DECEMBER OF 1998. THE FIRST TIME MY ALTERNATOR BELT BROKE WAS AUGUST OF 1999. SINCE THEN MY BELT HAS BEEN REPLACED 12 TIMES (7 TIMES THE BELT WAS REPLACED BY A MECHANIC). MOST OF THE TIME, MY HUSBAND OR MYSELF HAVE BEEN DRIVING WHEN THE BELT BRAKES LEAVING US STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE BELT ALSO SQUEAKS REALLY BAD. I'VE TRIED TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT TO SQUEAK. I'VE HAD ALTERNATOR'S REPLACED, BELTS REPLACED, AND THE PULLEY ADJUSTED. NONE OF IT WORKED, BUT I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR IT. PLEASE HELP ME.*AK
