SUSPENSION
M2000023000095
A MacPherson strut independent suspension is used
in front. Aggressive use of special components that
include Mitsubishi Motor’s own inverted struts and
forged aluminum parts reduces weight. A trailing arm
type multi-link suspension is used in rear. In contrast
to the trailing arm multi-link system used on the
Lancer, the Lancer Evolution uses a newly devel-
oped multi-link system built on a double wishbone
base for superior handling stability. Optimum design
of the suspension points and use of aluminum parts
for the suspension arms and crossmember reduces
weight to the limit. In addition, ball joints on the sus-
pension arms reduce friction for superior perfor-
mance under all driving conditions.
