Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Galant 1996-2003 Suspension Specifications

Suspension components for the 1996-2003 Mitsubishi Galant are designed specifically for this model range. While some parts may share similarities with other Mitsubishi vehicles, compatibility is not guaranteed. Always verify part numbers and specifications with your supplier or manufacturer to ensure proper fitment and performance.

The suspension system should be inspected every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Regular maintenance includes checking for worn bushings, leaking shocks or struts, and damaged springs. Lubricate components as needed and replace worn parts promptly to ensure optimal performance and safety.

To replace the front struts, first, lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the wheel, disconnect the sway bar link, and unbolt the strut from the steering knuckle. Support the strut assembly, remove the upper mounting bolts, and replace the strut. Reassemble in reverse order, ensuring all bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications.

Noise over bumps often indicates worn suspension components. Inspect the struts, shocks, bushings, and sway bar links for wear or damage. Tighten any loose bolts and replace faulty parts. If the issue persists, consult a professional mechanic for a thorough diagnosis.

To enhance handling, consider upgrading to performance shocks and struts, installing stiffer springs, and adding a rear sway bar. Ensure proper alignment and tire pressure. Regularly inspect and maintain suspension components to keep the system in optimal condition.
