    Rear Crossmember

    Hi All, just got the news that my car failed it's MOT on several counts one of which was the rear crossmember. Does anyone know the most cost effective way of getting a replacement or is it a trip to the Mitsubishi Stealership? It's a 2002 V6 Elegance

    make sure they mean the rear cross member has failed and not the mount for the rear cross member as these are more likely to fail than the actual cross member.

    if it is the mounts then it is a welding job to replace them on the chassis/body.

    Bye for Now!

    Yeah it was definitely the crossmember as I printed off the exploded diagram and showed it to the mechanic before heading off to get the new one. The mechanic I use is pretty handy as the car has scraped through it's last few MOT's with welding issues having lived near the sea most of it's life and he's done all of it without hesitation, thankfully he only charges £20 an hour! Got the part from Mitsubishi £283 inc VAT and currently being fitted. Once it gets through this MOT I'll probably run it a few months then sell it on to a club member primarily so they can transplant the interior before it's scrapped but my next question will be does the nice shiny/expensive part I've just bought fit the VR4 when I come to sell it on as would be a shame for it to go to waste
