>>D<< SHOE RETURN SPRINGS
INSTALLATION
The shoe return springs are not interchangeable as
their constants are different. The one with blue paint
mark should be install at the front of the vehicle, and
the other with yellow paint at the rear of the vehicle,
respectively.
NOTE: The illustration shows the left rear wheel. The
right rear wheel is symmetrical to that.

PARKING BRAKE LINING AND DRUM
CHECK
1. Measure the thickness of the brake lining at
several places.
Standard value: 2.8 mm
Limit: 1.0 mm
2. If the thickness of the brake lining is below the
limit, replace the shoe assemblies on both sides
of the vehicle. Never replace only one side.
3. Measure the inside diameter of the brake disc in
two places or more.
Standard value: 168.0 mm
Limit: 169.0 mm
4. If the inside diameter exceeds the limit, or if it is
excessively worn on one side, replace the rear
brake disc.

WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
WARNING
•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 and
paassenger (from rendering the SRS inoperative).
•Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
•MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B - Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of the SRS or any
SRS-related component.
NOTE
The SRS includes the following components: SRS air bag control unit, SRS warning light, front impact sensors, air bag module,
clock spring, and 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 by an asterisk (*).

Power steering has been adopted in all vehicles to
make the steering system easier to handle.
FEATURES
•A 4-spoke steering wheel is used.
•MOMO leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel
is used.
•A steering column has a shock absorbing
mechanism and a tilt steering mechanism.•Integral-type rack and pinion gear with high
rigidity and excellent response is used.
•A vane type pump with a fluid flow rate control
system which change steering effort according to
the engine speed is used.
•The separate plastic resin oil reservoir is used to
reduce weight and to make the fluid level
checking easier.
