Problem overview

Some Mitsubishi Outlander Sport owners report experiencing rear end issues, such as the rear end kicking out over bumps, which may be attributed to various suspension component problems. These issues can stem from worn rear bushings, upper and lower links, shock absorbers, stabilizer bars, coil springs, and control arms, leading to instability when driving over uneven surfaces. Some drivers have found that installing a 2-inch spacer lift kit and heavy-duty rear springs, like the KYB RA6227, can improve stability, particularly for towing purposes. Additionally, there may be relevant Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) that address these rear end concerns, so checking for applicable TSBs and following the recommended procedures could be beneficial. If the problem persists or if the exact cause remains unclear, it is advisable for owners to consult with a mechanic for a professional assessment to identify and resolve the issue effectively.
