The bolt part number is MR198095, flanged M12x90. The thread pitch is likely 1.25.

Thanks very much!

So I went to Fastners and got these bolts M12 x 90mm with 1.25 thread pitch to throw in these empty spots. The bolts were grade 8.8 and they will not go all the way in. Are these suppose to be pointed? I tried and had to crank on them very hard but had about maybe 2 fingers width left and I could not get it to go in any further. I tried to find a picture of these bolts on the net but no luck.

Just cut it shorter if you need to.

Or go to a junkyard and scour Mitsubishi cars until you find a bolt that will work.

Is there one on the other side you can use as a reference?

 

[PrimerPLus]

No they are both missing

 

[PrimerPLus]

I have called the junkyards none ever have any in the lot

 

[dsmspick]

Hey man let me check on size and pitch of that tomorrow for you, or I maybe able to snag some from the junk yard when I go.

 

[PrimerPLus]

That would be sweet

 

[rlacasse1]

Just check any Mitsu, I'll bet you will find a very similar bolt that will do the job.

Just buy the bolt from Mitsubishi. It's $7.

Buy them from one of the part outs on this site..I'm sure someone could hook you up.

Ok so I got new bolts and I was able to get the one all the way in but as it was all the way in it just spun. This time I did it on the driver's side. Last time I did not even bother with the driver's side because I just assumed that this side would not go all the way in either. But this one went in with ease and I had to apply pressure to get it to go in but it never really felt like it was threading, I just assumed it was really clean haha yah right... After the bolt was all the way in and spinng with the ratchet, I was able to pull it all the way out by hand.....

Well here is a picture of the hole Also a video.
So what is missing on the other side?

Looks like the threads are missing. You might have to drop the subframe, drill the hole out a bit and install a helicoil, or just tap it for a bigger bolt. You would have to drill the sleeve in the bushing out a tad to do that though. The other option would be to cut a small hole thru the floor board above where that is. There is a nut that is tack welded on the inside. You can break the nut loose and just put a nut on thru the hole that you cut.

 

[PrimerPLus]

Some good advice thank you. I think I might drill a hole instead of droping the subframe . We will see though.

Primer that sucks, I thought for sure that you would have no issues with just putting a bolt in. Wonder how the nut on the top side got messed up. Maybe front sub frame was removed before?

I don't doubt it. I have discovered so many things with this car since I bought it. Previous owner was a complete...well uneducated person .

 

[dsmspick]

Ah I love those kinds of owners. I still have wires in the engine bay that are just hacked and chopped. Good thing I'm doing a 6 bolt swap so I can clean it all up.
