Here's a shot of the rear assembly common in both the FD hatch and CW.

377000k on a lot of dirt roads I suspect.

Around here that would only take 3-4 years due to our salty winter roads, which is why many choose additional corrosion protection...

Yes, How very true. That thought crossed my mind at the time and I was going to joke about that then forgot about it.

when I was into Mitsubishis particularly E seies Galant from the 90's. I spent a lot of time on the US Mitsubishi forum as the Eclipse platforms were basically the galant based, As it was they had issues with multi link suspensions and ball joints separating.

Got to see plenty of images of accelerated destruction of the undercarriage. I wonder how they could warranty the car?

Thanks for bringing that point up.
