if it was driven hard alot it can cause them to go faster...but i dont think its unheard of for them to go 60k...maybe not common, but it can happen....and i didnt know mitsu made a v4 for the galant....but i WISH they made an inline6 hehe https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

yeah had my tie rods replaced but it was covered under my warranty i had about 70,000 mi. some symptoms are uneven wear of the tires in the front. also if u can lift ur car try moving the tires if they move chances are the tie rods are bad. push and pull left and right and up and down if they move they are bad. they shouldn't move if they are good. also its kinda expensive to replace the part is like 50 bux and labor is an arm and a leg. since i had the warranty take care of it no problems if i didn't i would have made u a tutorial.

peace out
