1992 Dodge Stealth R/T from North America - Comments

"Quick, fun and unreliable"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The ball joints went bad so I took them in to get replaced, but Chrysler doesn't make after market Stealth parts, so the salvage yard wanted $450 for each ball joint.

The clutch went out.

The leather on the steering wheel, seats, and shifter knob wore badly.

The alternator went bad.

The ignition went out.

The suspension went bad.

General comments?

This was a very nice car from what I saw, but when I took it in to the mechanic I realized I bought a lemon. Very quick and handles awesome. Very fun car to drive, with comfortable seats. Everything was pretty good other than the fact that it is really expensive to fix.

In the future check with Mitsubishi and other after-market parts dealers before you opt for the salvage yard. I replaced my ball joints for an average of less than $200 a piece on my '93 Stealth R/T.

I sell ball joints for this car online for $45.00 a piece. These are fun cars, but high maintenance.

There usually only high maintenance when theres a lot of miles on them, plus there almost considered a classic.

I got both ball joints done on the front end for approx 1/2 that price installed using aftermarket ones. theres plenty of online shops that sell them.

I'm not sure what you meant by "went bad" such as the suspension.
