Recently I've started to notice a sound coming from the passenger side of the car, not sure if it's front or rear.

It's a squeeking sound that only occurs when I'm off throttle, usually below 40mph. The sound doesn't always occur, but most of the time it happens when I'm driving very slowly in parking lots. if i brake lightly it gets a little louder and constant. i already changed the front brake pads and the rear ones look good still.

 

YEP!! I know EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT


it's the bushings.. mine were squeaking also, in low gears and also when driving slow in parking lots also.... I had my bushings replaced as it's a mitsubishi fault and my car is still under warranty and got it done for free.


I just recently had to get my brake pads as mitusbihi has upgraded their brake pads and was squeaking badly when stepping on my brakes only. So for a heads up, the stock break pads is also mitsubishi default and have upgraded their brake pads as the stocks squeak as they wear on just a F.Y.I.

 

did they redesign something to take care of the bushings short lifetime?

Well, if you corner fast alot that might explain why they wore out fast.

 

my bushings have been a little squeeky since day one. i usually dont here them though. havent noticed my brakes yet.. since i only have 7k on my car

 

guess ill try putting lub on the bushings before going to the dealership.

 

i just wanted to get this straight. mitsubishi are using new brake pads for the lancer and will replace the old squeaky stock ones under warranty?

 

Which bushings are we talking about. I just noticed this today, although in my case I think it's my brake pads (axxis ult.), they tend to be noisy.

 

I would also love more info on this since my car is going in for a tune-up soon
