Mitsubishi Mitsubishi 3000GT 1994-2001 Suspension Specifications

The 1994-2001 Mitsubishi 3000GT is compatible with OEM and aftermarket suspension components, including struts, shocks, springs, and control arms. Ensure compatibility by checking part numbers for specific trims (Base, SL, VR-4). Aftermarket options like coilovers from brands such as Tein or Eibach are available for enhanced performance. Verify fitment for front and rear configurations as they differ.

Regularly inspect suspension components every 15,000-20,000 miles for wear, including bushings, struts, and shocks. Replace worn parts promptly to avoid damage. Lubricate bushings and joints during routine maintenance. Check alignment annually or after significant suspension work. Use manufacturer-recommended lubricants and follow the service manual for specific intervals.

1. Lift the car and secure it on jack stands. 2. Remove the wheel to access the strut assembly. 3. Detach the strut from the steering knuckle and upper mount. 4. Compress the spring using a spring compressor and remove the strut. 5. Install the new strut and reassemble components in reverse order. Torque all bolts to factory specifications.

Inspect for loose or worn components such as strut mounts, bushings, or ball joints. Check for damaged shocks or springs. Tighten or replace faulty parts. If noise persists, verify alignment and inspect the sway bar links. Persistent issues may require professional diagnosis to rule out structural damage.

Upgrade to performance coilovers for adjustable ride height and damping. Install polyurethane bushings for improved rigidity. Use sway bars to reduce body roll. Ensure proper alignment and tire pressure. Regularly maintain and inspect components to sustain optimal performance. Consider weight reduction for enhanced handling.
