I already list it and sold one to a 3G chap. this was based on someone showing me their shock pin which match and that's why i said about i wonder when they swapped over. if they adjusted it in 2001 then they may not work so i will have to check...
It looks like at least the first year of the 3rd Gen utilized the same knuckle as the 2g. As far as when they switched to a larger pin is anybody's guess but we know enough to skip the early 3g and concentrate on the later years.E56A, EA3A...
It's too bad Mitsubishi didn't sell these separately so I can't look up the part numbers and cross reference but I believe early 2000s galants used the larger ones as well. Here's a shitty photo of one from a 2003 Galant which was hacked up a bit.
Ahh. That makes sense. I thought you were having issues on the side with the odd sized pin. So basically you're looking to find another pin with a larger seat.

The relationship of the lower spring perch to the Knuckle, to the hub, wheel and tire does not...
Is it rubbing on the knuckle also? I'm not sure the different shock pin is the issue here. With a larger seat than OEM I would think it would place the mounting point farther away from the knuckle giving you more clearance, no? All things being...
Maybe the top bolt in my photo is from an Avenger or something else built in Normal, IL?
I messed up the internal threads on my old one, and bought a replacement knuckle just for the standoff bolt. Didn't notice it was different until later...
I measured a 2ga FWD, 2ga AWD and 2gb AWD pins and found no major differences between them.I also installed them all into a 2gb knuckle just for shits and giggles and to remove all doubt.
More updates from this week. Grabbed some rolls of tape and started taping off all the lines in the engine bay.It took some work, but we were also able to remove the sound deadening on the firewall so can get a nice coat of paint behind it...
RTM Racing is still in business, but we don't have much remaining in inventory now.We used discount coupons in the past to offer deep discounts as we wound down operations, but these coupons caused us some difficulties (with some of our more...
