How to change the break pads on a 1989 mitsubishi galant?

Hi,
That two bolts is the one holding the valve cover and the air filter housing.
No worries, just remove the bolts, and remove the old gasket around the cover.
Upon installing new rubber gasket, make sure it is clean. Put a silicone sealant around the canal, where the new rubber gasket would be placed, not too much sealant.
Put the new gasket, and now you can put back everything as you have removed it.
Hope that seals everything!
Thanks for using Fixya!

Timing Belt Replace ment Intervals for 2006 Mitsubishi Galant are as follows:

2.4L 4Cylinder engine: Every 60,000 miles

3.8L V-6 Engine: Every 60,000 miles

Both of these engines are "Interference Engines" which means that if the timing belt breaks, severe engine damage is likely to result.

I personally recommend replacement of the timing belt idler and tensioner pullies as well as the water pump because failure of these components will cause a failure of the timing belt.

You mean it sounds like the school bus pulling up?? It is the pads, some of the new organic pads squeak like crazy, my motorcycle squeaks like a school bus, I changed the pads 3 times before I found one that didn't squeak. You can go out and get them now, or just wait till it's do, Get a different pad, get the old cheap ones that don't turn your wheels brown with soybeans or whatever is in them. I tried the good ones and the cheap ones, I can't tell any difference in stopping performance, they both work, one might last longer, be environmentally safe, but we are talking brakes here, not rocket ships. Check it out, Hope this helps.

hi, this one is easy, fill to level turn steering from left to right, for about 5 times each and if working a noise will be heard. recheck level. reson for turning the steering wheel it forces air out of system. gerry

Get your buddy with a Camaro to push you. VBG Really there nothing you can do, if it is running OK.

I would spend the money on a used Honda or Toyota over a Mitsubishi...Check out this website on the problems of that car:

check for a stuck door switch. usually, a modern dome light lens has a screwdriver pry point on it somewhere for bulb access. double check with the car manual. the Japanese are usually very thorough with instructions regarding access to auxilliary lights

try autozone.com to see if they have your car listed for diagrams pictures and step by step instructions if your car is not listed then try your local library they have all the car manuals and even copy them for you

I had the same problem with my 2006 Galant, it turned out to be the first indication that my front driver-side brake pad needed to be replaced. I suggest you get it fixed soon- I continued to drive it for too long after that started happening, that I had to replace the rotor as well.

possibly it could be an alighnment issue..when was the last time you had an alighnment? thats something to think about. your wheels/tires could have have too much road force which might affect that. Or maybe somethng in your steering colomn itself.. have you been in or known of your vehicle being in an accident recently? those are just some ideas hope that may help
