I was wondering since I've never seen these.
Did 2g's come with these?

Ive owned 3 95 all which came mostly stock. Ive not seen these. That listing was in the US. But Im now thinking it must be some universal part. Are the euro parts still labeled with a MB?

Of course, even the J spec parts are. These look some kind of aftermarket caps.
 
The 2g Eclipses did come OEM with those caps. But not the exact set pictured. I have one laying in a box somewhere. For some reason my car only had the driver side when I purchased it. The originals had an MB part number with no other markings, and were shaped more like a Sombrero (that's the only way I know how to describe it LOL)

That sounds like the rear cap not the front.

If you ever find it, post a pic with the part number so it's in the thread for the future.
 
Hah, I knew what car these'd be from as soon as I saw the big "MULTILINK SUSPENSION" stamping. Part number is MR103870. They are off a 7th gen Galant, which was the first Mitsubishi to use multi-link suspension all around. It was also the first production car to have it while being FWD and front-mounted engine. So naturally Mitsubishi were really proud of this and wanted buyers to know about the suspension setup, so they stamped it right there on the caps LOL.

Anyway, given how almost identical the 7th gen Galant and Eclipse chassis/suspensions are, these also fit a DSM perfectly.
 
Found one on eBay for $6.
Fitment is excellent.

Like I said, those caps came on 7th gen Galants from the factory. The only way I see them coming on our 2Gs ('95-'96) is if some Mitsu techs at the dealerships were doing a checklist on the brand new cars shipped on their lot and they decided to slap some pads on the fronts also since they probably had plenty of 'em. Or if people simply got them off a Galant and put them on their 2G.

In any case, cool find. At least they would keep water and dirt out of the strut cap.

MULTI LINK SUSPENSION :dsm::thumb:LOL
