Full set of suspension arms on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-Front-Lower-Wishbone-set-for-MITSUBISHI-GALANT-94-99_W0QQitemZ320378588429QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Cars Parts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item4a980d4d0d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1683|293%3A2| 294%3A50

Can someone with the knowledge (i.e. works catalogues) advise if these part numbers will fit my 1996 V6-24 please. 1999 cut-off date for the Galant seems odd, but wasn't that when the US model changed?

Thanks.

they look correct BUT

there has been a spate of these arms failing so I would only ever recomend geniune mitsi ones

Those are the correct arms and it's the same ones sold by a US company and have been used by some of the guys in Oz. It depends on who the manufacturer of the arms are as Eurospec have named the company in another thread who have supplied arms that have failed

Anyone knows how to see if the arms are genuine and not? I've just bought set of the straights of eBay and they look just like Mitsi ones, but I'm not quite sure if there's some genuine-signs or something...

Probably worth checking with the guy if they are genuine or not. At no point does he mention they are made by mitsi or a 3rd party.

IIRC, lower stright arm had 19mm nut before recall and 22mm after recall action. Some aftermarked lower quality arms still have 19mm nut.

Has anybody ordered from this guy and where did the parts come from. I found on another forum that the parts came from China rather than Fife in Scotland. They were not the lower arms though but parts for a different manufacturer
