Couples minor things with my Stealth.. When driving there is some kind of a noise coming from the rear driver side wheel.. It is not a bent rim or anything like that and the tire has been replaced so it is not that. The noise is just a kind of thumping noise, about once or twice a second.. I have been thinking it is a wheel bearing? Any other thoughts?

Next the a/c is broken, as I've discovered I need a new relief valve off of the compressor.. And Mitsubishi wants over 100 dollars for a little brass valve that should only cost 3.. Has any one else had this problem and fixed it slightly cheaper?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

thumping could be the bearing...also may be the strut.

for OEM parts, Cherry hill mitsubishi if prolly ur best bet. Ordering on their site seems to be about a 30% discount. Other than that, get on 3si and look for someone doing a partout.

these cars aren't cheap to fix. you're gonna have to get used to that idea. lol

check the wheel bearing, lift the car and spin the wheel, listen for a grinding type noise, if not hold the tire(while on the car) at 12 and 6 and shake it firmly and smoothly. for strut possibilities i've found going over a small(1") lip of like a garage helps the most, if it is the strut it should clunk when you back over and down off the lip

as for the a/c, it's winter it snowed yesterday you don't need it, and for the summer you got 2 windows...just jking, if that's what it needs then pay it, like she said, these car's are expensive for most things
