Hello Sir. Thank you for your information in reference to my front end issue. My question is you mentioned the upper ball joints as part of a front end rebuild but not the actual Upper control arms. Is replacing the arms them selves over kill? Thank you in advance. Scott

Thank you for the information. Yes the quote was 800 dollars just for labor to replace the UCA and lower ball joints. I don't mind diving into a project as long as specialty tools are not required but as you previously stated there are none. I have a work vehicle so I don't have to do the job in...

Good day Gentleman. I recently purchased a 1998 Montero and I am working thru some issues. After replacing all 4 tires I then took it to have a front end alignment done. The mechanic who was to do the alignment advised that charging me for an alignment would be highway robbery. He advised...

I am wondering the same thing. When do you determine they need replaced?

Well I did get the compressor fixed. I found a local shop to replace the compressor, dryer, and expansion valve with all new parts for a little less than 600 dollars. Half of what the dealer wanted to charge. They even gave me a warranty for 2 years on parts and labor. I think with my limited...

Sorry for the lag. I had to deal with a more pressing issue when my ac went out. I have not been able to target the problem yet. I have limited experience so it is taking me some time. One thing I have noticed is that with the ignition on but the engine not running. When I turn on power to the...

The vehicle is new to me so with new cars come new sounds. I noticed that when activating the ac I could hear a slight rubbing sound. The dealer mechanic pointed out that you could see the clutch operating out of line. Almost look like it was wobbling like it was about to spin or fall off. They...

I almost forgot. NO picture and its not real right? My first Montero. :-)

Thank you for the response. I don't have a problem with most of it but 850 dollars for the compressor alone and that is only covered for 12 months 12 thousand miles.

I purchased a 1998 Montero this past week and it seems I have an ac problem. It appears the AC compressor needs repaired and the local Mitsubishi dealer Quoted me 850 dollars for the compressor and 176 dollars in labor. Lets not forget 36 dollars for refrigerant. I can try and fix most things...

In trying to figure this out I have come to two questions. IS the third brake like suppose to be on at all times or just when the brake is pressed? Two I dont see a specific fuse for the cruise control. Am I missing something. Thank you in advance for all the help. Scott

Thank you so much for the link. I will look around.

Good day I just purchased a 1998 Montero and the only thing not working is the cruise control. When I activate the dash switch there is an acknowledgment of power. When I try the steering wheel cruise selector arm I get a very brief green flash of the dash indicator but not cruise. I have only...

Thank you for your input. I would be using the vehicle for around town and weekend trips. Everything I find even close to me is extreme high mileage or just plain beat. SO 126000 miles with exceptional service would not be an issue?

Need a little advice purchasing a used montero. Good evening. Sorry I have not filled out my full profile but I sure will. I am looking at a 1998 Montero here in the Atlanta area. Based on Kbb the price is really high. I have spoke with the owner and he advised that every bit of maintenance to...
