I put mine into the Mitsubishi dealer eventually and they had to replace the struts. Luckily was still under warranty for me. Works fine again now.

Same as a year ago! (I put mine into the Mitsubishi dealer eventually and they had to replace the struts. Luckily was still under warranty for me. Works fine again now.) Still works fine now :-)

Mine started doing this & I took it to a Mitsubishi Service Centre to get done & they wanted to charge me $551 for this service because it's out of warranty. I've watched how easy it is to do on YouTube so will be giving that a go.
