Chapter 8 PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Fuel control linkage ball joint - Inspect
Check ball joint in the fuel control linkage for play. If
the amount of play is 0.1 mm [0.004 in.] or more,
replace the ball joint with the new one.
If the sealed ball joints are found loosened, contact
your Mitsubishi dealer. If the seal on the ball joint is
broken, the warranty is invalidated.
If the ball joints are integrated in the control linkage,
replace the control linkage when the ball joints have
loosened. When installing ball joints, be sure to tighten
the nuts firmly.
