Consumer Description

BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION (REAR WHEEL WELL) AND DESIGN OF MITSUBISHI'S ACTIVE CENTER DIFFERENTIAL PUMP, THEY ARE PRONE TO FAILURE. SEVERAL FACTORS AID IN THE GALVANIZED CORROSION OF THE PUMP'S INTERNAL PLATE, SOME OF WHICH INCLUDE TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATION AND WEATHER. VEHICLES THAT ARE IN SERVICE THROUGHOUT THE SNOW BELT STATES IN THE US AND WELL INTO CANADA SEEM TO BE THE MOST AFFECTED. MY VEHICLE WAS JUST OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WARRANTY RANGE FOR TIME BUT VERY WELL INSIDE THE RANGE FOR MILEAGE. *TR
