Mitsubishi Montero (1998+). Manual - part 313

 

 

         Some conditions indicate that a service or part replacement

is suggested because the part is close to the end of its useful life

or addresses a customer’s need, convenience or request. If a

customer’s vehicle has one of these conditions, the procedure may be

only to suggest service.

         Example:

         An exhaust pipe is rusted, corroded or weak, but no leaks are

         present. In this case, the exhaust pipe has not failed.

         However, there is evidence that the pipe may need replacement

         in the near future. Replacement of the pipe may be suggested

         for the customer’s convenience in avoiding a future problem.

         Example:

         The customer desires improved ride and/or handling, but the

         vehicle’s shocks or struts have not failed. In this case,

         replacement may be suggested to satisfy the customer’s

         wishes. In this case, replacement of the shocks or struts may

         not be sold as a requirement.

         A customer, of course, has the choice of whether or not a

shop will service his or her vehicle. He or she may decide not to

follow some of your suggestions. When a repair is required, a MAP shop

must refuse partial service on that system if, in the judgment of the

service provider, proceeding with the work could create or continue an

unsafe condition. When a procedure states that required or suggested

repair or replacement is recommended, the customer must be informed of

the generally acceptable repair/replacement options whether or not

performed by the shop.

         When presenting suggested repairs to the customer, you must

present the facts, allowing the customer to draw their own conclusions

and make an informed decision about how to proceed.

         The following reasons may be used for required and suggested

services. These codes are shown in the "Code" column of the MAP

Uniform Inspection & Communications Standards that follow:

         Reasons to Require Repair or Replacement

         A - Part no longer performs intended purpose

         B - Part does not meet a design specification (regardless of

             performance)

         C - Part is missing

NOTE:    When a repair is required, the shop must refuse partial

         service to the system in question, if the repair creates

         or continues an unsafe condition.

         Reasons to Suggest Repair or Replacement

         1 - Part is close to the end of its useful life (just above

             discard specifications, or weak; failure likely to occur

             soon, etc.)

         2 - To address a customer need, convenience, or request (to

             stiffen ride, enhance performance, eliminate noise,

             etc.)

         3 - To comply with maintenance recommended by the vehicle’s

             Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)

         4 - Technician’s recommendation based on substantial and

             informed experience

NOTE:    Suggested services are always optional. When presenting

         suggested repairs to the customer, you must present

         the facts, allowing the customer to draw their own

         conclusions and make an informed decision about how to

         proceed.

         STEERING AND SUSPENSION

         SERVICE PROCEDURES REQUIRED AND SUGGESTED FOR PROPER VEHICLE

         OPERATION

         Steering and suspension are complex systems made up of a

variety of interdependent components.  For proper vehicle handling,

ride, and tire wear, a thorough inspection is required whenever

suspension work is being performed.

         Conditions listed assume that the problem has been isolated

to the specific component by proper testing procedures.

NOTE:  When replacing steering and/or suspension components which

       may affect an alignment angle, you are required to check

       and adjust alignment as needed. Refer to the OEM

       specifications.

CAUTION: DO NOT use ride height altering or load compensating

        components, such as variable rate springs and coil over

        shocks, on vehicles with height or load sensing

        proportioning valve-equipped braking systems, unless

        these components are original equipment.

         AIR RIDE SUSPENSION

NOTE:    Depending on the air suspension design, there are some

         aftermarket products available to eliminate the air ride

         suspension on certain vehicles. If the system has been

         eliminated with one of these products, then no service is

         suggested or required.

         AIR RIDE SUSPENSION - AIR SHOCKS AND AIR STRUTS

NOTE:    This section covers the air spring portion of the

         air shock or strut. For damping portion of shock

         or strut conditions and procedures, refer to the

         SHOCK ABSORBERS, STRUT CARTRIDGES AND STRUT ASSEMBLIES

         section.
