Hello there, I am wondering if anyone can tell me if the Front Suspension Knuckles on a GS model is the exact same as the GSX or VR4 Knuckles. In case I am describing the part wrong the Knuckle is where the wheel bearings, hubs are hooked into and it mounts onto the Lower Ball Joints, Tie rod ends, and strut. Thanks for your help!

Got my answer. Mitsubishi Dealer Parts department confirmed that the part number for the knuckle is Part Number: MB518227. It is for none ABS Knuckles for Galant, Eclipse, and Eagle Talon models.

Iceman69510 has determined that the fwd t/e/l & galant fwd units are not the same as the awd knuckles.

It's about the height of the steering arms relative to the balljoints.

This will affect bumpsteer.

Consensus is that the fwd knuckles are a better fitment for lowered awd cars, (but your mileage may vary.)

Whatever you do, do it in pairs. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
