Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me figure out the issues with my 2006 Montero 4x4 with 160k miles. Have owned it a few months and within the last week I have noticed totally random grinding in R front at low speeds of around 20 mph. Nothing at high speed. Doesn't happen when turning. I slow down and pull over and at about 3-5 mph a loud clunk and problem goes away. Happens 0-4x per day. I can drive 150 miles on the highway without a problem but then get off into the city and it intermittently happens. I have taken it to two mechanics (including Mitsubishi dealer in La Paz, BCS) who say everything (pads, rotors, calipers, suspension) checks out fine, yet problem persists. They even drove it, heard the problem, but say they can't find anything that would cause it. If I know a “most likely” cause I can start by replacing those parts. Or, do I just need to keep trying more mechanics? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I tried to upload a 15 second video of the sound but the file was slightly too large. I can email it as an attachment if that might be helpful.
Thanks!
