Replacing Shocks / Struts on Mitsubishi Mirage

[@chrisoseland4643]

thank you brother. I put my mirage in the ditch a few months ago and now I have the pleasure of replacing them sunday.

[@GTsPerformance]

Best of luck on the build! Hope everything turns out great and you're back on the road again.

For those wondering about each nut's torque, I have the repair manual and they are: Front strut: Camber bolts (the 2 at the bottom): 80 - 94 ft.lbs. Strut insulator (3 top ones): 32 ft.lbs. Self-locking nut (the single one that holds the spring and strut together) 43 ft.lbs. ABS sensor (not all Mirages have it): 18 ft.lbs. Back strut: Brake drum connection to lower arm: 66 ft.lbs. Strut connection to lower arm: 66 ft.lbs. Strut insulator (the 2 top ones that you access from the trunk): 33 ft.lbs. Self-locking nut (the single one that holds the spring and strut together): you will not believe it, but its just 18 ft.lbs. This is for 1997 to 2002 Mirages.

Next project! I changed my dash lights after following your video . Now I’m gonna follow this one except I’m gonna get the compression tool . Thank you 🙏🏾

[@johnf8991]

Dude, great video! Love the pacing, I have a Mirage that needs all 4 struts too, your vid helps a lot!

[@89Mirageman]

Great work as always. If you ever decide you want to convert the rear drums to disc brakes let me know. I've been making rear disc conversion kits for the colt/mirage/lancer for about 12 years now.

[@GTsPerformance]

That's impressive bro! Haven't thought about it, but definitely something to consider. let me clear out some projects and I'll hit you up once I come back to it. 👌💯💯

@@GTsPerformance Great video. I have a 2001 mirage like you and have been wanting to do the same thing by any chance do you know if they sell the shocks and the spring together?

[@johnarabia6385]

You got anything for 2015 mirage?

[@DavidGonzalez-bn4gw]

You still doing that in 2024 ?? I have a Mirage ES 4 door 2001

[@89Mirageman]

@@DavidGonzalez-bn4gw I sure do

[@AndrewLopez-Perez]

😮thank you very much. Now I can work on my Mitsubishi mirage 98 now on my back struts. Should I replace my shocks too instead of using the same shocks?😮

[@jojoestranger4989]

Great video bro.,now I know how to change my shock on my mirage ,thanxs

[@campokid1pr]

Excelente video. Yo tengo un Mirage del 98 y ya tengo una idea. Gracias amigo. Robert

[@rudyflores6898]

Dang I thought you were going to say something about the next project build. I thought the front spring was gonna jump on you. This was definitely a nerve racking video. Still a great job in the end.

[@GTsPerformance]

Thanks Rudy! About the project, I just want to make sure I have some content before announcing it. Honestly, I'm not sure what route to go with it cuz usually the first mod is paint or making it pretty. And I want to either do engine mods or suspension. But I'll ask on the announcement video what you guys want to see first. Let's just say it's a chevy, and it's old skool 😉

[@rudyflores6898]

GT's Performance I can't wait to see what it is. I would say to do an engine project first. Either way I'm sure it's gonna be a great video. Old school Chevy wow that's awesome

[@skyrim4ever99]

What're you torquing the lugnuts to on the wheels? And what year model is your mirage? I got some work I need to do to my 2000

[@gustavoramirez8960]

How much and where did you get the parts?

[@noisecastnoisecast2465]

so relaxing to watch

[@goofymaniak20]

Thanks to your video I can now work on mine. I would like to see more mirage work since I have problems with mine. I'll subscribe hoping u get back to it one day.

[@GTsPerformance]

Absolutely! Been thinking of bringing it back, but first I want to finish some projects I'm working on. What would you like to see?

[@jannylokotkt]

Firmes carnal te la rifas I can't wait for next video

[@GTsPerformance]

Gracias bro 👍

[@supermintymints]

I dig the the video and editing.

[@antoniovazquez2753]

Muchas gracias. Thank you very much

[@88creep]

Another great video cuz. Gotta give you props on all the bad ass editing. I’m digging all the music too lol. Keep it up. Tell my tia I said what’s up. Oh and I gotta get me one of those stickers so that I can throw it on my Jeep and rep your channel. Maybe you can send one my way.

[@GTsPerformance]

Aye bro, it's great seeing you in the channel! I left my email in the description, send me your address and I'll send a decal your way. Say Hi to the fam up there.👋😁

[@enochperalta3662]

Can one cut the front springs bro?

[@3Wheels1Block]

Nice work! Sweet editing too! What size wheel spacer are you running?

[@GTsPerformance]

Thanks! I'm running 1" spacers. I have some for the rear also, but don't have them installed cuz they fender rub. Need to do some trimming

[@Adrian-bp6rs]

Nice work bro 👍

[@MANDO_SORz]

Bro, mines won't turn

[@ole_mcd_farmn3357]

Great work. Awesome video. Thanks to your mom for helping out or you would still be at it. J/k 🤭

[@GTsPerformance]

Haha, hell yea!

[@joeyalvarado3440]

What year mirage is that? And what size tires ?

[@GTsPerformance]

It's a 97, and currently running 195/55/15 Achilles atr+2 tires on 15x6.5 wheels.

[@Jona4261]

Nice video

[@desireeperez8784]

How much should all this cost parts and labor? My shit is obliterated

[@GTsPerformance]

Well, every car is different, but I always look around first to find the best prices. Ebay usually wins 🤷‍♂️ I paid $75 for front struts, $50 for the rear and $25 for the lowering springs (front&back). Also, I did the work myself so I wouldn't know how much you can expect to pay for the labor

[@kishaweatherspoon8045]

@@GTsPerformancethanks because me as a woman looking for this part is tragic I was all over the internet an I puts in year make an model it pops up when I click on the picture another model an year comes up yes crazy huh😩
