Having the same issue, it slightly pulls to the left........very slightly but I notice it on a straight road, city or hwy. I let go of the steering wheel for a second and the steering goes to the left and so does the car. Definitely out of alignment, car is about 2 weeks in too.

The sound from what the sevice dept. says is the bearings, sounds like aklank whenever you go over a very hard or sharp bump @ around 40 mph. Next time you now of a hard/sharp bump, roll your window down and listen carefully to the front left wheel...

Interesting to hear everyone's comments & suggestions.... I think I will endeavor to get the local dealer to look into it further...

Mine isn't shaking but the pulling left is driving me nuts... not too mention to longer it goes on the more wear on the tires!

My left pull has slowly creeped back even after having the dealer do a full alignment (on a real quality machine) and having the tires cross rotated.

I also feel a bit of a rumble in the floorboard which feels exactly like a blown wheel bearing. I am bringing it to the dealer again tomorrow and directing them to inspect the tires and the bearings.

I'll update everyone when I get back.

Ok, just got done at the dealer today. My alignment was off. They said they haven't had any others in, but the dealer has had a hard time getting in Lancer's to sell let alone have come back. But they mentioned that they've heard about a few batches of Lancers coming out with the wrong numbers, lets hope its only a alignment issue and they get it fixed right away. Sounds like some are having a bigger issue then others.

Question: If I'm going to bring my car back to the dealership to get this issue checked out should I remove my RRM Intake and Exaust and put back on the stock? <<<<Newbie, Thanks

which dealer do you take it to? i have had the same problem too. add to the fact that my stereo is being replaced, i have defective paint that is already rusting, and the car shuts off if you turn the a/c on below 15mph... is in the process of buying my gts back from, not sure if i want another?

Donnie I'm having the same issue. Just bought new tires (falkens) and had them rebalanced multiple times under that warranty to rule them out as the problem. Took it in to the dealership and they gave the whole car a look over (supposedly) and even aligned. The car shakes and is pretty wicked above 45MPH. The steering wheel is also VERY touchy.
When I do my next oil change (in probably 100 miles) i'm going to install some camber bolts and take it to this brake/alignment place where I know the old guy won't screw me over. Hopefully he can determine what is up cause I'm starting to get frustrated.
I use to enjoy getting in my car and driving, but now it's like a fight with the car and hoping that something isn't going to **** up when I'm on the highway...

if they are going to work under the hood, then yes. Most dealers frown on it. My dealer knows I do all my own work as I am a ticketed heavy duty mechanic (licensed throughout Canada). We chat here and there but he keeps telling me, if there is ever an engine issue you can't have those on. Mitsubishi's stance is anything that creates extra horsepower is a void to your engine warranty.

Long story short, if you are having engine issues then put it to stock before taking it in, also some dealers can be a real PITA and "blacklist" you just for seeing the mods.
