I drive a 2004 Lancer OZ Rally and am looking into upgrading the struts. I currently have the factory struts with Eibach pro springs. I am looking for a better performing strut and was wondering what everyone recommended. Also to expose my ignorance, are the struts from an Evolution in any way compatible with our lancers? Thanks for the help. ]]> zbailey129 http://forums.evolutionm.net/lancer-tires-wheels-brakes-suspension-sponsored-tire-rack/459095-2004-lancer-oz-rally-strut-sugestions.html http://forums.evolutionm.net/lancer-tires-wheels-brakes-suspension-sponsored-tire-rack/457440-rear-suspension-creak-help.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:22:41 GMT It started a month ago when I was going over speed bumps id notice that my rear suspension would creak.

It started a month ago when I was going over speed bumps id notice that my rear suspension would creak. When I was driving though there would be no creak at all. Only when I went over a speed bump or when id acclerate at a stop light. Now, the creaking/squeaking noise is getting worse like when I hit little bumps. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I have a 2002 mitsubishi lancer oz rally with all stock suspension. I was thinking it might be the bushings but im not sure. If it is the bushings does anyone know how hard it is to change them and where I can find directions. Any advice would be appreciated. ]]> andymilonkis453 http://forums.evolutionm.net/lancer-tires-wheels-brakes-suspension-sponsored-tire-rack/457440-rear-suspension-creak-help.html http://forums.evolutionm.net/lancer-tires-wheels-brakes-suspension-sponsored-tire-rack/455661-help-axel-damage.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:23:13 GMT Hi, I'm new to the forums! I have a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ 2.0L

About 7 months ago I hit a curb at about 40 or 50 mph. It caused the front right tire to become off set a few inches. I took it to my local shop and he put on a new control arm and only charged me $200.

After I picked it up there was a rattling coming from the wheel he worked on, I tried to get him to fix the rattle but he never showed up when he said he would. It seemed like the rattle was very pronounced when I tried to take slow turns. Anyways, last night I was driving out of a store and all of a sudden when I was in first gear the car wouldn't move. I was completely off the clutch and all it would do is make a terrible grinding noise. I got under my car and felt the boot that runs from the axel to the wheel and inside the boot I could move little pieces around and the entire axel could be moved back and forth a little.

I had my mechanic come out and look at the car. He said my axel was slightly bent and eventually just pretty much fell out. He said I need a new axel, spindle, hub, and wheel bearing.

I've found these prices for the parts;
Passenger side front axel new = $115.24
Spindle, hub, and wheel bearing all together from a salvage place = $100

Now, I am pretty mechanically inclined when it comes to motorcycles but I have no idea how to work on a car. do these prices sound fair? How can I tell these are the correct parts when I go to pick them up? I have to do all of the work myself does anyone know where I can get a good axel manual for my car or any good write ups for something like this?


-Thanks so much for your time, I'm stranded without a car and it sucks and I desperately need to get it moving! ]]> campbmic http://forums.evolutionm.net/lancer-tires-wheels-brakes-suspension-sponsored-tire-rack/455661-help-axel-damage.html http://forums.evolutionm.net/lancer-tires-wheels-brakes-suspension-sponsored-tire-rack/454825-help-new-rims.html Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:46:37 GMT I have a 06 Es Lancer with 4x114.3 bolt pattern. And I'm looking for some wheels that arn't to pricey (not $200.00 each).
I was looking at these rims and thought to myself if anyone has had experience with these brands or rims, if they could give me a few pointers.
