Items To Look Out For Before General Warranty Expires?

I think I'm heading towards the end of my General Warranty. Is there anything I should make sure to check out before it expires? Last thing I want to do let the warranty expire and find out there are some known issues I should have gotten checked out / replaced.

Bump! There's no known things that go bad on the EVO X? Or things which should be checked out before the general warranty expires?

Check SST and diffs for leaks. Those you don't want to replace out of warranty.
Struts... Yeah they won't warranty those

My filter was leaking too. Apparently they fixed it. From what they told me, the replaced the filter and that stopped the leaking. You seen any leaks since?

I'm assuming this will be done at the dealership... but which dealership would you trust your car to?

So far the dealer I am comfortable bringing my car to in the GTA is still Maple Mitsu. I took my car to Erin Mills a couple months ago... and the technician seemed to have a lot of fun driving my car out for a test drive.

I don't hear much about the dealership in North York (Dufferin St.)... how are they for service?

So struts are something which can have problems eh? I'll check them.

But are they... or are they not covered under warranty? It wouldn't surprise me if some Mitsu dealers tell people their struts are leaking due to "abusive driving".
