Hi
My Mitsubishi Colt 2007 (new model) suddently had a very heavy steering. The problem got worse.
Mitsubishi authorised dealer has gone through the whole steering physical and electrical. It has had almost all parts repaired or changed. It helped, and all was fine for some time, but now the problem is getting back and again getting worse.
I can't afford a total new steering again.
Anyone who knows of this problem and a probable solution?

Hi ASE Master6371.

Since I'm Danish, could You please describe what a Steering Linkage is? If it is the joint on the steering wheel axle down to the ?? (The central part, where the turning movement is transformed into a horisontal movement - and also where the servo is positioned), then it has been checked and greased several times.

The part in the brackets. what is it called in English/American?

Also I need to know how to donate the $5, i agreed to pay.

Best regs.
