When I still had my Lancer I was scouring the surplus shops for a JDM rear glass with wiper and washer assembly. Too bad the sedan Mz2 and 3s don't get the wipers.

Agree. Rear wipers are very useful for cars with no trunks (hatchbacks, SUVs) - the boxy shape of the rear creates a low pressure area that sucks up rain, mud, and dust, hence the need for wipers.

i could count with one hand, the number of times i turned mine on, in five years.
but yes, it does have its uses.

The delete isn't about ignorance of the part's purpose...more of preference.
To some, it probably is like an inflamed appendix, doc.[emoji13]

My steering wheel is loose at 100-120kph, when turning left I can hear noises, and when on uneven road surface, potholes or speed bumps, I also hear a clunking noise. Is it because of a bad or failing stabilizer bar link/s?

How much clocked on the odo, sir? Get it on a BendPak lift. Have a thorough underpinnings check. Ball joints, rod ends, control arm/sway bar, rack mount bushes, stab-link, strut mounts. It'll be better than guess work & throwing parts in. Hope you'd get it sorted, sir.

That's too young, too soon for such. What's your route like?

Maybe you may also need to check your front lower control arm bushing especially the big bushing if may cracks?

Just had a chat w/ the headtech on the gen3 control arms. He notes the BM/BN bushes are holding up pretty well. Since launch, his dealership has yet to find 1 needing replacement. Ours has not felt any of the expected aging symptoms yet...but we know these are wear items we'll eventually need replacing.
