My 2003 mitsubisihi lancer oz is experiencing some type of problem with the rear suspension. we've had the car for 3 years and it has 45,000 miles, and we've driven in very gently. most of the 45k are highway miles from commuting to work. there is a horrible squeaking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. there is no reason this vehicle should have any problem with the rear suspension, yet it does, and we're no longer covered by the warranty so we have to pay $75 to even get it looked at. *jb
While driving at 60 mph vehicle pulled to the right. vehicle was taken to the dealer who inspected it several times but could not reproduce or correct the problem. *ak *nm
