Whiteline Roll centre adjust kit on Lancer Es?

[02-Lancer-Es]

I noticed alot of people saying these were the best thing to have when you lower an Evo so i researched for a little while and noticed both Lancer and Evo share the same (Replacement part number) on the Tie rod end links and the lower ball joint .


Here is a link to the product .
I love having better and better suspension set ups and want to add this to my next mod

Thanks ,
Antonio .

I would confirm that it fits before diving into it. Maybe find an Evo owner that has it and see if they're willing to let you test fit it.

I know since it is also $200
I have a friend that is parts manager at a local Mits dealer , I'm going to have to call him to confirm if its the same part number .

You could confirm it by attempting to install those parts on your Lancer. I would be worried that some small piece would cause an issue, since we're dealing with a Mitsubishi after all (and god knows they don't make it easy).

[02-Lancer-Es]

Well that wont be a problem . Have taken the suspension apart a couple times and have replaced both of those parts before , even replaced my wheels bearings . Mitsubishi is actually pretty easy . I personally think Lancers are one of the easiest , have you looked at the suspension geometry of a Civic?

[ambystom01]

I'm talking about interchangeability from model to model, Mitsubishi doesn't make it easy to swap parts from one to another.

50% of this kit will work. You would be able to use the lower ball joints, but not the tie rod ends. I went through this about a year and a half back trying to figure out a solution to use the tie rod ends. The end of our inner tie rods is M12, the Evo is M14.

Hmmm thats weird because AutoZone , Orlieys , Advance auto parts and Napa calls for the same part number !

I still have not called my friend at the dealer thou .

Here's information straight from Mitsu's parts lookup:

Lancer tie rod end: MR476457
Lancer tie rod end jam nut (M12): MF430123

Evo tie rod end: MR548285
Evo tie rod end jam nut (M14): MF430008

The Lancer and Evo do have the same tie rod end boot and crown nut (M10), but different thread pitch on the female ends as shown by the jam nuts. Everything I looked up online at rockauto.com showed that the Lancer and Evo used different tie rod ends. Just my 2 cents.

G'day everyone,

02-Lancer-Es, pretty sure that the KCA395 parts will fit but not sure about the outcome and resultant geometry. Its not something we've tested.
