I've tried a search for this as I've got a feeling its been covered before, but to no avail.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has a squeek sound coming from the rear end while cornering at low speeds? It seems to be progressivly getting worse.

Also wondering about grounding the engine? I know someone who has ran a ****load of wires off the engine block of his VTEC Integra to the chassis apparently grounding it, and giving it slightly more power. Is this a load of crap?

As for the squeeking in the rear brakes. Is most likely the drum brake(park brake) pads not releasing properly which is very common in most new australian cars. Usually more in commys and falcons. Easiest way to try and fix it assuming that your hand brake isnt over tightened which isnt usually the case is to jerk the hand brake up and fown a few times while driving it and hopefully releasing the stick.

As for the grounding, i honestly wouldnt know but i very highly doubt that it would make any difference at all. i'm sure it wouldnt. If it did, then i'm sure all the car makers would have already done it for the power gain. Sounds dodgy to me.

Is your car still under factory warranty..?? Mine is and i had the hand brake shoes replaced under warranty last friday, its a common thing..

Yeah still got factory warranty till next september. Might get them to have a look at it when it goes it to have that fuel leak recall thing check in January.

hey mate ive got the same problem with mine

he said it the break caliper no lettin go proberly
if its ok then he said just an oilin will fic it
if not then i think its 90 for 1
not a serious problem
just highger fuel comsumption and fast break disc wear

Yeah the handbreak isnt nice and gradual when you pull it up.
its sorta nothing, nothing, nothing, BITE. Same as when rolling backwards slowly.

I've noticed when doing hand break starts too, the car rolls back abit then it grabs.

Sounds like you have a problem with the hand break shoes...

I have the same problem......god damn macdonalds trays.....

If Mitsubishi changes the shoes, does warranty cover the parts and labour?

yes, parts and labour are covered under warranty, if the vehicle is in the warranty range, i.e: under 3yrs/100000kls, 5yrs/150000, 6yrs and so on.. depending on what warranty plan u had!
