something broke on my new evo
#16
I donno if you've really looked, but it could be something stupid, too, like a plastic bottle crushed into your wheel well. I've seen that happen to more than one person, who thought they had a really expensive problem on their hands before finding whatever was lodged in there. Just a thought.

alot of people here on the forum have experienced a decent sounding clunk when turning hard right and hitting a bump. Something to do with the suspensions mechanics. The real cause hasn't been located yet i don't think. Also check to see if the shipping blocks are still in.

My suspension used to clunk like crazy, I took it in to the dealership and they could never find anything. Now, at 12.5k it barely does it anymore. But I never had anything like a snap. Like everyone else said, crawl under there and look around to make sure it's nothing dumb like a twig, then get it towed in.

yeah it's a brand new car so the warrenty MUST apply unless mitsu does something that's rediculous. well i did do an extreme check to see if it was a small problem (stick or something) and i couldnt see anything. it all happened to fast. i was't even goin 2miles an hour, just gently pullin it in hte garage. i called mitsu today so they're gonna get it towed but damn 200miles and something like this. haha oh well it's under warrenty so i dont have to worry about anything. let them fix it. thanks for the replies guys and i'll update you with what they said. hopefully it's not 2 major!
my dream weekend came to a sudden end :|
even with the problem i must say the evo is a killer car. buy it if u can!

Maybe it is just one of the plastic panels or plastic fender liners that are held on by plastic screws? Look under the car and check for anything obvious or easy to fix....
