Both lower control arms replaced yesterday and questioned dealer as to whether a wheel alignment was carried out following the replacements. Service manager replied that alignment was not part of the recall procedure and that in any case they had marked the pins and he did not think one was necessary. Drove out the yard and a across the road to where our last four vehicles have had alignments and tyres for the last 18 years and he was adamant that changing out two major suspension components would definitely warrant a re alignment. Back to the dealer with the upshot being vehicle booked in for alignment next week. Credit to the dealerships service manager though as following my explanation as to why I thought one was required he went out of his way to ensure the alignment would be carried out.Comment

Mine is going in tomorrow for the "inspection" which apparently takes 3-4 hrs.
Then if the control arm is deffective they will order in the new ones.
How long did it take from the inspection to the parts being ready to install?

Its a real worry when service managers make comments like thisBoth lower control arms replaced yesterday and questioned dealer as to whether a wheel alignment was carried out following the replacements.

Mine is with the dealer as I type. Dropped it off this morning and drove home in a loan base 2WD Challenger. Not nearly as comfortable in the seats but also noticed it had the same issue that I've noticed recently in my 2012 XLS. The fan stays engaged after it has warmed up to around the 2000 rpm mark. Makes it noisy in taking off so when you're in traffic the fan noise is almost constant. Anyone else have the same issue?
I guess I'll find out in a few hours if my car needs to go back to have the remedy installed for the lower control arms.Comment

I think the service manager is milking this

I've just picked up my car from the dealer's and all OK, no need for new control arms. The bloke in the service department indicated that most they were seeing did not need any work.Comment

Had my check only 1 LCA requires replacing, only real issue I've had. Actually believe it or not I want an SRS light to come up as am 18 months into 5 year warranty and want it on record. Will be very pissed if it comes on in 5 years and 1 month and Mitsu don't come to my party!!2022 Paj Sport, Grey, nicely hidden factory towbar, thanks MM,Comment

Had mine in today with an all-clear given.
Mine also fell outside the prop shaft range so no further action needed there.
They did recommend replacement of "engine room cover" and "under plate" at a cost of $450 + labour; looked it up on the service CD and its obvious they were referring to the intercooler and sump bash plates which I had taken off to make their job easier!

Waiting Still
Booked mine in for the check today agreed at 12.30. Went off shopping returned at 3.15 and car is in the back car park. Went to service desk thinking all done but no they tell me its being checked as we speak. I don't think so.....
Comes back tell me it will be ready by 4.00 (of course it will ) so the whole check takes around 30 mins or so given the time frames.
Car given all clear.
Third or fourth time I have been made to wait to pick my vehicle up even though they say they will ring me when ready.
That's why I didn't buy my car locally (but that's another story)Comment

Probably took them 15min to find and retrieve from the back carpark
