I have had a torn cv boot for a while, but its covered under the 2g recalls at mitsu. Cars going in tuesday and they're gonna fix it for free. And they said they'll trace the damage it causes and take care of it. Its a factory defect that the front driverside cv boot rips. Call em up and give em the last 6 digits of your vin and see if they'll take care of it.

here's the recall notice on the ball joints which applies to the cv boots.

1 of 3: SUSPENSION:INDEPENDENT FRONT CONTROL ARM:LOWER:BALL JOINT

Recall Number: 00V421001
Dates Manufactured: MAR 1994 to JUN 1999
Number of Vehicles Affected: 567432
Date Owners Notified On: MAR 2001
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. If the rubber boots on the lower lateral arm ball joints of the front suspension were damaged during assembly, dirt and water can intrude. Also, MMC has added the potential of leaking moisture, which can cause the ball stud to corrode.
Consequence of Defect:
This condition could cause the lower lateral arm ball joint to separate, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. This campaign supercedes MMC's previous safety recall campaign, see 99V-066.
Corrective Action:
Dealers will inspect the lower lateral arm ball joint for wear. Ball joints that exhibit wear beyond the established tolerance will be replaced with newly designed lateral arm ball joints. Ball joints that are within the established tolerance will be cleaned and a special sealant will be applied to prevent intrusion of moisture.

Just got the car back. They took care of the axles, resurfaced my rotors, and serviced my tranny free. They took excellent care of my ride. mitsubishi on florin rd across from the florin mall. Good guys.
