1. DISCONNECTION OF FRONT SPEED SENSORRemove the mounting bolts which hold the speed sensor
bracket to the knuckle, and then remove the speed sensor.
Caution
Be careful when handling the pole piece at the tip of the
speed sensor and the toothed edge of the rotor so asnot to damage them by striking against other parts.
3. REMOVAL OF DRIVE SHAFT NUT
Loosen the drive shaft nut while the vehicle is on the floor
with the brakes applied.
Caution
Do not apply vehicle load to the wheel bearing loosingthe drive shaft nut. If, however, vehicle load must be
applied to the bearing in moving the vehicle, temporari-
ly secure the wheel bearing by using the special tools,
MB990998-01, etc.
4. REMOVAL OF CALIPER ASSEMBLY
Remove the caliper assembly and suspend it with wires.
8. DISCONNECTION OF LOWER ARM BALL JOINT
Using the special tool, disconnect the lower arm ball joint
from the knuckle.
Caution1. Be sure to tie the cord of the special tool to the
nearby part.2. Loosen the nut but do not remove it.
IO. DISCONNECTION OF TIE ROD ENDUsing the special tool, disconnect the tie rod end from the
knuckle.
Caution
1. Be sure to tie the cord of the special tool to the
nearby part.2. Loosen the nut but do not remove it.
11. REMOVAL OF DRIVE SHAFTUse the special tool to push out the drive shaft from the
front hub.
14. REMOVAL OF HUBIn the case of AWD-vehicles with A.B.S., take care not to
damage the rotor for A.B.S. installed to the B.J. outer race
when removing the hub.

(I) Using the special tool, push out the drive shaft and inner
shaft assembly (L.H.) or the drive shaft
(R.H.) from the
hub.(2) If the inner shaft is hard to remove from the transaxle,
strike the center bearing bracket lightly with a plastic
hammer.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
(1)A Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which uses a driver-side air bag, has been installed in the 3000GT.(2)The SRS includes the following components: impact sensors, SRS diagnosis unit: SRS warning light, air bagmodule, clock spring, interconnecting wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be
removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance) are indicated in the table of contents byan asterisk (*).
WARNING!(1)Improper service or maintenance of any component of the SRS, or any SRS-related component, can lead to
personal injury or death to service personnel (from inadvertent firing of the air bag) or to the driver (fromrendering the SRS inoperative).
(2) Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at anauthorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(3) MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B
