DIY Lancer 10 rear suspension repair

Mitsubishi Lancer 10. REAR SUSPENSION

The rear suspension (Figure 7.3) is independent, multi-link (three transverse and one trailing arm on each side), with telescopic shock-absorber struts 3 and a stabilizer bar 5 of lateral stability. The guiding elements of the rear suspension are the trailing arm 1, the wishbones 2,6 and the control arm 8. Such a system of levers in combination with elastic rubber-metal hinges 7 provides the suspension with the property of "passive steering": when cornering, the rear wheels turn at a small angle in the direction of the turn, which provides better stability and controllability of the vehicle

The telescopic shock absorber strut combines the functions of an elastic element and a vibration damper. The shock absorber at the bottom is connected to the lower wishbone, and at the top is attached to the body. A coil spring, a compression buffer with a protective strut cover and an upper support are assembled on the shock absorber strut.

The lower suspension arms are connected to the anti-roll bar. The anti-roll bar struts are fixed through ball joints on the lower wishbones and the stabilizer bar. The stabilizer bar is fixed to the rear axle beam with brackets with rubber pads.

Checking the technical condition of the rear suspension is described in the subsection "Checking the technical condition of rear suspension parts on a vehicle", p. 71.

Rice. 7.3. Rear suspension: 1 - trailing arm. 2 - upper wishbone; 3 - telescopic shock absorber rack: 4 - rear axle beam: 5 - anti-roll bar. 6 - spring. 7 - lower transverse arm. 8 - rubber-metal hinge (silent block); 9 - control lever

the first eared largest silent block is needed from the rear suspension.
the price of it space Mitsubishi MN101430
it seems like there are analogues 4120A181 and 4120A125 but they are also not for nothing at all.
"New existential" gives out in the analogs of Mitsubishi 4120A166 silent from the ACH, as far as I understand, for more than 2000, will it fit? or what is better to buy?
unnecessarily and do not want to be mistaken and the price for them is even inadequate. I also need (4pcs) for 2 cars, I don't want to just throw 10k into the trash can

in short, I report on the future:

the first "eared" silent block Mitsubishi MN101430 (aka 4120A181, 4120A251) was replaced with Mitsubishi 4120A166 from ASX since I managed to buy it at 2,000 rubles apiece, other original silentlets cost at least 2,700 (usually 4,500) for the fastening of the silencers the same, but there is no flaring on one side and much more rubber in the silencer itself (that is, it is much tougher). otherwise all the rules.

The suspension of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is somewhat different from its "colleagues" from earlier versions. Structurally, the changes are not big, but in terms of running characteristics, the differences are tangible. In the 10th generation of Lancers, the manufacturer has focused on more urban driving conditions.

So, the latest models in the pre-styling layout have become softer, and the roll has increased slightly when passing sharp turns. But after restyling, the developers slightly increased stability, sacrificing the softness of the springs and shock absorbers.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

In models with a two-liter engine, the ground clearance is also lowered to 150 mm (by changing the location of the spring support cup on the rack) and there is a rear anti-roll bar, which can be installed on cars of simpler configurations for an additional fee, the body and levers have all the necessary technological elements.

The front suspension of the Mitsubishi lancer x is standard for all models of this class - MacPherson struts, two levers and an anti-roll bar.

1-ball joint, 2-tie rod end, 3-strut, 4-helical spring, 5-strut SPU (anti-roll bar), 6-stabilizer bar, 7-lever, 8-subframe, 9-CV joint boot (hinge equal angular velocities)

On average, this unit begins to demand attention after 40-50 thousand kilometers - the stabilizer bushings wear out, closer to 80,000 km you should be more careful with the front shock absorbers and stabilizer struts. In cars from 2010 onwards, the front struts have a slightly longer resource. Levers, silent blocks and ball joints are the most tenacious, 200,000 kilometers for them is far from the limit. At the same time, it should be noted that the replacement of the ball joint, according to the manufacturer's recommendations, must be carried out together with the lever. In cases where the lever has retained all factory parameters and there are no deformations, only the ball joint can be replaced. This operation is allowed to be carried out no more than once.

The rear suspension of the Lancer X was designed using the same assembly from the Mitsubishi Outlander XL, so these designs have many similar elements.The main parts that include the rear suspension Mitsubishi Lancer X are: 1-trailing arm. 2-lower front arm, 3-upper arm, 4-shock absorber, 5-coil spring, 6-lower rear arm.

The average life of this unit is up to 200 thousand kilometers, some parts fail earlier:

• The silent blocks of the lower wishbones, which have a direct effect on the camber of the rear wheel, take care of 80,000-100,000 km, often, their replacement is accompanied by the difficulty of unscrewing the mounting bolts due to sticking;
• In the trailing arm, the same part requires replacement after 100-150 thousand km;
• The upper wishbone is responsible for wheel toe-in; its life cycle is at least 100 thousand kilometers. Its replacement is made due to the wear of the silent block, which is pressed into the lever body by the manufacturer, and its separate sale by the Mitsubishi company is not provided. There are alternative options for third-party silent blocks, they are sold separately from the lever, but in this case, the car owner does it at his own peril and risk.

The first signs of suspension problems are:

Mitsubishi Lancer 10. Removal, repair and installation of the upper wishbone of the rear suspension

You will need: two keys "for 17".

You will need: a “17” key (two), a silent block remover.

1. Loosen the corresponding wheel nuts. Raise the back of the car and remove the wheel.

2. Mark the location of the upper arm bolt shim in the body bracket.

3. Remove the arm bolt nut.

4. . remove the washer and remove the bolt from the bracket along with the second adjusting washer.

5. Remove the bolt and remove the upper wishbone from the trailing link bracket.

6. Carefully inspect the lever, replace the deformed lever. Signs of wear on silent blocks are tears, one-sided bulging and peeling of rubber from the metal bushing. To replace the silent blocks, you need pullers of a suitable size.

7. Press the silent blocks out of the lever lugs with a puller.

8. Press new bushings into the eyes of the upper transverse arm and install the arm in the reverse order of removal. Finally, tighten the arm mountings with the vehicle on the ground.

Discussion of the features of operation and maintenance of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 (2007-2017) car, description of common malfunctions and methods of their solution (elimination of breakdowns / repair).

Hello everybody. I bought a Mitsubishi Lancer x in December 2007 for 635t.r - 2 liters of intenz, mechanics. I drove 90,000. I changed the left front strut under warranty (due to a gust of the anther-bump stop, dirt got in), the heater motor (began to make a lot of noise) and, at my own expense, the anti-roll bar bushings in front and rear. Everything.
+ Mitsubishi Lancer 10
- External and internal view
- Comfortable roomy interior
- Excellent handling
- Energy-intensive front suspension
- Excellent gearbox
- Powerful engine
- Perfect ergonomics (everything is at hand) height 174
- Good brakes (with moderately active driving)
- Good climate work in summer

- Lancer 10
- squeak of the suspension at large strokes in cold weather
- punchy, noisy rear suspension
- The hydraulic booster does not allow you to quickly turn the steering wheel
- No noise isolation
- Weak varnish-paint coating
- Creepy mud (only sports mud flaps will help)
- a small trunk with a creepy finish and no handle to close
- poor visibility due to wide struts
- Cheap interior fabric gets dirty quickly
- short armrest
- Climate control, when the set temperature is reached, turns off the warm air supply
on the windshield and when driving from it there is a cold (winter). You have to operate manually. And so the car is warm.
- No indication of the level of the windshield washer
- There is no mirror for the passenger and illumination of the driver in the visor
- no lighting in the glove compartment

Despite the fact that the minuses of the Mitsubishi Lancer x turned out to be more than the pros, I like the car. Value for money by 5.
Many disadvantages can be overlooked or eradicated, but the advantages are pleasing. They are different for everyone.
Regarding the rigid suspension - it is so soft for me. Everyone has their own priorities. The maximum speed is 210.7 Gp-es and then from the hill. Consumption depends on driving style. It easily fit into 9 liters in the city, and so I have it on average 11.5-12.5 in the combined cycle. I completely agree with Anton68 - try on before buying.
Goodbye to everyone.

Hello everyone! I have a Mitsubishi Lancer x 1.5 automatic transmission. I'm happy with the car, for its price. Although I have already changed the left struts twice, once the right one and both tie rods, though everything is under warranty, and on our roads it is acceptable for 75,000. There was a problem, at -27 C, after 20 minutes of warming up, I could not move the lever from the “parking” position, called the service - they answered: “… warm up, press the brake pedal” - after 10-15 minutes everything began to work. After two days, i.e. today it was -17C on the street, warmed up, drove without problems, drove to a gas station, refueled, and could only turn on the gear after pressing the brake pedal for 10 minutes, drove off, stopped to pick up the change, returning the same thing repeated. True, I was able to turn on the transmission after 1-1.5 minutes. Now I traveled on my Lancer x - everything seems to be fine. “Service” on the call “shrugs its shoulders and does not heal on the phone” before the new year, the car is needed like air. I look forward to advice or discussion of this problem, All Happy Holidays !!

Shit your lancers. poor interior with cheap plastic, and even better in Zhiguli. The metal is foil, the doors are closed like in Tavria, although I think better in Tavria. Dynamics? What dynamics are you talking about here? Any 1.8-2 liter will make this "explosive basin" Mitsubishi Lancer 10. No noise, gauze upholstery, rolls like on a swing. Enough to wear rose-colored glasses and look at things is unrealistic, except for the muzzle on which you all were bought from this car, there is nothing. “I drove 10,000 - no problems” - drive 50,000 - surprised. Start with racks and end with crickets. Here is a real review about Mitsubishi Lancer 10, and positive ones are written either by those who sat down with the Zaporozhtsev, or they are driving a blizzard. Lohanulis themselves, we will tighten another so that it was not so offensive. Or he shook his brains out on the shaking "basin X".

Hello, my name is Pavel.
Owner of Mitsubishi Lancer 10, dv. 1.5. Automatic transmission.
Acquired in July 2009. Mileage 5 thousand km. It is now December 2009.
The car is full of g… - there is something to compare. Over 10 years of experience. There were Zhiguli - 7, Lada - 15, Toyota Echo. dv. 1.5. Automatic transmission. I firmly decided to sell for myself in the spring.
Pros of Mitsubishi Lancer x:
1) "greyhound" appearance;
2) high ground clearance;
3) Japanese image (good for the aftermarket).
The disadvantages of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 are much more:
1) No noise isolation (you feel every bump or hole);
2) The suspension rattles, even frighteningly rattles;
3) The sporty appearance is absolutely inadequate to acceleration and speed, just decoration.
4) With a fairly solid external dimensions, the interior is small, the trunk is small (I met relatives from Turkey - two ordinary suitcases did not fit);
5) Fuel consumption is high. In summer, with moderate city driving - about 9-10 liters. without air conditioning. With conditioner + 1 l. In winter, I didn't even count. Money and gasoline flow like a river.
6) Lived to frost. At minus 20 - 30 it starts up the first time, but when driving, the interior starts to rumble, click, rumble, knock, rattle, etc. etc.Cheap plastic is tolerated in summer, but manifests itself in winter. I took it down on domestic cars, but on an expensive "foreign car", you see, it's annoying.

What "finished off". Started to wedge the gearbox. Where is the vaunted Japanese reliability? After starting the engine (at minus 20 - 30 degrees), driving around the city and a short stop at the store, when the engine is started again, the transmission from the “P” (parking) position does not change decisively to any other position. You have to wait with the engine running for 10-15 minutes. Only then does the gear change. At first I thought that it was the frost of -30 gr. But at -20 gr. it's impossible. Conclusion: problems in the box. And this is with careful driving around the city and a run of 5 thousand km.
I am not spoiled for comfort. The main thing for me is reliability. Mitsubishi does not give a feeling of reliability. Subconsciously ready and waiting for something, some kind of trouble.

on Mitsubishi Lancer x 1.8 manual transmission for a year already - the interior is thundering, and everything is fine.

Good day!
I have a Mitsubishi Lancer 10 2.0 liter mechanic, purchased in July 2008, now dashed off 47000 km.
Undoubtedly, the Mitsubishi Lancer x has a minus - this is sound insulation - especially noticeable at a speed of 100 km, even passengers are sometimes surprised. 13-14 city eats a lot and 9-10 highway, you can even more if you go through traffic jams or on the highway more than 150 km , but that's why they have 150 horses =))) well, and the trunk is really too small, we went to the sea, things were barely pushed ...

And the interior is spacious, and nothing makes noise)))
On the road, Lancer 10 is like a glove, the stability control system is especially good in winter.

Oh yes, it took a long time to get used to a rather poor view, since it has wide struts (due to the presence of airbags) and a high trunk.

But the whole machine is happy - excellent handling, good brakes, light (though it costs "xenon"), comfortable climate control.

And I completely agree with Eugene - you must first "try on" the machine and understand that this is exactly what you wanted =)))

I own a Mitsubishi Lancer x 1.8 Manual Intensity 1.5 years. The suspension is noisy, but reliable, the interior is explosive, the noise from the road is too much, the fuel consumption is too large, the paintwork is weak, it scratches very easily. But all these disadvantages are present in many other cars. This car as a constructor is very great opportunities for tuning! Everything is very easy to disassemble and assemble, a large number of accessories and customization kits on the market. Auto Mitsubishi Lancer X for youth.

Good evening everyone! And what are you all saying that the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is a bad car? the car is just excellent, some generally say that our Russian junk such as vases is better for both Shumka and stability! I have a Lancer x 1.5 with manual transmission. For two years now, no problems whatsoever, neither in winter nor in summer. yes, the only thing is that the insulation is not very good! and the car is quite good! beautiful design, excellent ergonomics. and with such an engine, no Ford, or even more so a VAZ can not be compared! power is quite enough for a small 1.5, and the consumption is moderate, in my country at 100-110 it comes out on average 6.0l. what other car can do that much? what do you want to say, and Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is a good car, with all its advantages and disadvantages!

I drive a Mitsubishi Lancer x two and a half years - everything is fine. and go vzh @ ny who does not like it.

Hello everyone! I have a Mitsubishi Lancer 10, 2.0 mechanics intensity, bought in the summer of 2007 mileage of 58,000 km. In general, I am satisfied with the wheelbarrow, the dynamics are pleasing and there is no need to listen to the clever people who bought a car with a 1.5 engine, and even on the machine. The handling of the Mitsubishi Lancer x is excellent. I ride a lot both in the city and on the highway, the consumption from 7.2 on the highway to 12.5 in the city, on average 9-10 liters per 100 km. On the highway, it accelerated to 220 km / h on the speedometer. The salon is very spacious and comfortable, the trunk suits me… not to carry potatoes in it.
Disadvantages of Lancer 10: poor insulation, crickets in the cabin appear periodically, in the cold gum creaked in the suspension.After 140 hours, the noise level in the cabin increases (I think the aerodynamic feature). In just 58,000 mileage, he replaced the wipers and the cigarette lighter broke. The main disadvantage of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is very expensive maintenance, the approximate cost of maintenance is 60,000 km, 22,000 rubles. In general, the impression of the car is good, reliable, powerful, dynamic device.

The rear suspension on a Mitsubishi Lancer X car is presented in the form of a multi-link connection, which is movable using silent blocks. The structure of the left and right wheels is interconnected by a central lever. It turns out a kind of triangle shape on each side. It is the multi-link that ensures the silence and smoothness of the ride, the absorption of most of the pits, bumps, potholes. The average suspension service life is 150,000 km or more. Service station experts are aware of cases of suspension operation up to 225,000 km. Such cases are isolated and not widespread; most likely, these are the so-called ideal conditions for using the machine. This is extremely rare in life.

A knock on the rear axle is the first sign of a breakdown. It is possible to change the worn out parts of the rear suspension on your own, but it is advisable to trust the real workshop masters, since the matter is related to safety in the process of movement.

Automobile workshop provides a wide range of services for the repair of technical equipment of various brands and modifications, including the Japanese brand Mitsubishi. Most often, owners ask for assistance when replacing the rear suspension, namely:

• general prevention of the suspension mechanism, identification of worn-out parts, connections, assemblies;
• replacement of levers, subframe, silent blocks, adjusting bolts, nuts;
• replacement of rear shock absorbers, springs, thrust bearings;
• general vehicle diagnostics using digital equipment.

In addition to the current work, the workshop technicians will willingly undertake the overhaul of the engine, running gear, suspension, brake system, steering, power supply system.

The presence of special painting boxes allows you to accept and fulfill orders for painting, processing the body, its individual elements, applying a primer, putty, varnish, anti-corrosion mastic.

In order to bring the consumption of fuel consumption to the standards, we reflash the electronic engine control unit, carry out the prophylaxis of the fuel equipment, and clean the fuel injectors.

Accepted orders are carried out quickly and efficiently thanks to the well-coordinated work of a team of professionals with many years of experience. Modern diagnostic equipment, which is equipped with a workshop, helps to speed up the inspection process, display the results on the screen, and print data. A loyal pricing policy, an individual approach to each visitor helps to attract a larger number of regular customers, to increase the authority of the company. They speak positively about us, they recommend us, they turn to us in difficult times.

Typical symptoms of a malfunction are as follows:

• knocking on the front axle when driving a car;
• lack of smooth running;
• slight roll of the car to one side;
• easy tossing of the rear of the car when overcoming road obstacles;
• a metallic creak is possible with strong wear of the silent blocks.

The list of signs is not exhaustive, since in each situation it may be supplemented with new data, depending on the presence of third-party breakdowns and damage.

Common causes of breakdowns are as follows:

• the duration of the service life without intermediate prophylaxis;
• damage subsequently to an accident, road accident, collision;
• violation of installation technology;
• strong wear of rubber seals;
• damage to the rear disc, drum, brake caliper;
• manufacturing defects;
• installation of non-original products.

The above original parts are recommended for installation. No data is available regarding third-party manufacturers. Experimenting with quality is not advisable.

The inspection procedure is carried out under the bottom of the machine; first, it should be hung out with a lifting mechanism to provide access to the necessary units.

During diagnostics, pay special attention to the condition of shock absorbers, springs, support bearing, saber and trailing arms, silent blocks. All defects and malfunctions are recorded. In parallel, the master conducts visual diagnostics of the brake system, caliper, friction linings, brake hoses. If there are external signs of wear, the parts must be replaced.

The data obtained is analyzed, the foreman decides on the method of repair, its urgency, the number of necessary spare parts.

Preparatory stage: a new set of silent blocks, levers, a set of tools, heads, friction linings, brake disc, pipes, lubrication.

The main points of the replacement are as follows:

• hanging the car, dismantling the wheel;
• unscrewing the lower joint of the silent block;
• removing fasteners from the central arm;
• Finally, the most difficult thing is to dismantle the rear shock absorber drain together with the spring.

After all the components are unscrewed, removed, the master decides on the method of replacement: the lever is completely assembled with the silent blocks or press out each of them separately and press in with new ones. The difference between the first and second proposed options is in the duration of the period, the cost of work, the number of parts. In this case, you need to build on the financial capabilities of the car owner.

The most economical option is to press out old silent blocks and press in new ones. But for such actions, you will need special hydraulic equipment - a press.

To make repairs in our workshop affordable for most car owners, we systematically revise prices downward.

Exclusively for the owners of Japanese brands, the opportunity is provided to purchase parts at prices set by the manufacturer.

Our masters provide a full package of warranty obligations for all types of work carried out within the framework of the order. If we find a defect or a violation of technology, we eliminate the shortcomings.

Self-service

Mitsubishi Lancer X is a 4-door C-class sedan, the latest generation of the Lancer. Possesses good technical characteristics and attractive appearance. Many motorists report excellent performance. However, no matter how reliable the Mitsubishi Lancer is, its repair is just around the corner.

In Russia and the countries of the former CIS, negative factors regularly affect the car, its mechanisms and components are subjected to constant stress. All these reasons provoke a variety of breakdowns. Some of them can be repaired on their own, while others are recommended to be eliminated by contacting the service.

Most often, breakdowns are usually designated as typical or characteristic. They arise in the following nodes of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10:

• engine;
• suspension;
• electrical and electronic components.

Fuel filter and repair of Mitsubishi Lancer 10

The fuel filter has a small resource. Its replacement will be required after 30 thousand kilometers. 1.6L models often require cleaning or replacing the throttle valve.

1. The steering rack periodically fails.
2. Replacement of struts and springs may be required. This happens especially often when driving off-road, with sloppy and harsh driving.
3. The struts of the front stabilizer require replacement after 40 thousand km; a little earlier it is necessary to change the bushings of the front and rear stabilizer.
4. The ball joint must be replaced after 90 thousand km, and the shock absorbers - after 120 thousand km.
5. The air conditioner may be damaged.
6. Some electrical components fail.

Body service

The car body also wears out over time and loses its former appearance. This happens especially quickly with improper storage of the car and lack of maintenance.

Service Mitsubishi Lancer x can be carried out both in the service and with your own hands. For example, replacing consumables is easy to do on your own. The owner of the lancer can easily replace the used engine oil, add antifreeze or change the fuel pump.

If there are no professional skills of a locksmith, then it is better to perform all mechanical work in a service. Especially if the damage is significant. It is easier to fix small defects on your own. So, blown fuses and burnt out light bulbs can be replaced with your own hands. Parts are sold in any auto parts store.

A variety of sensors can be easily replaced. This could be an oxygen regulator or an idle regulator. It is not difficult for a car enthusiast to replace the thermostat. For convenience, you can use the factory instructions, in which you can find meaningful answers regarding commissioning.

In Mitsubishi Lancer 10, do-it-yourself repairs can be performed on the chassis - replacement of pads and brake discs... Without resorting to the help of specialists, the owners make external changes: they modernize the bumpers, hood or doors, change the headlights. It is better to entrust complex body restoration to professionals.

The following activities are carried out in the process of repairing an internal combustion engine:

• replacement of the timing belt and chain;
• replacement of valve stem seals;
• grinding the plane of the cylinder head;
• flushing the injector and throttle valve;
• pressure testing of the cylinder head.

Some procedures can be carried out independently, for example, replacing the alternator drive belt.

1. First of all, for this it is necessary to remove the expansion tank.
2. Then, using a 16 key, press the tension roller and remove the belt.
3. After that, you can install a new belt, but this will require studying the drive diagram. It is important to remember the passage of the belt through the units and drive rollers.

Minor body repairs on the Mitsubishi Lancer X can be done by yourself. Small scratches and chips are allowed to be treated and masked with special means or to be tinted. At the same time, it is important to correctly select the color of the paintwork, using the car's wine code.

Tuned bumper skirt

With your own hands, you can replace a damaged molding or some other body elements. Often these body parts are modified. Most common tuning bumper and its components.

If the damage is serious, professional help will be required. The service can carry out the following body repair work:

• straightening;
• welding works;
• work on the slipway - restoration of the body geometry;
• partial or complete painting;
• galvanizing the body and treating it with anti-corrosion agents.

Such repairs require professional equipment and experience of craftsmen.

A wide variety of malfunctions can occur in the chassis. Some of them can be eliminated by yourself. For example, replace the front shock absorbers. You only need to unscrew 4 bolts, 2 of which are the bolts of the shock absorber itself, 1 are the stabilizer struts and 1 are the hose attachments. From above, you need to unscrew the 3 bolts securing the shock absorber.

Replacing the front shock absorber

You will need to use a tie to disassemble the shock absorber itself and remove the springs from the shock absorber. In order to study this issue in more detail, you can watch the video on the repair and maintenance of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10.
