Mitsubishi Outlander: Redesigned Front Suspension
Mitsubishi Lancer / Overview / Redesigned Front Suspension
The MacPherson strut front suspension is similar in layout to the previous Lancer's, but all-new, with a sharpened focus on enhancing rigidity while reducing weight and lowering the roll center. Slightly longer suspension travel (10 mm) enhances road holding even on rough roads, and road shock from driving over uneven surfaces has also been reduced.
The Lancer DE and ES models use a 20-mm (0.79-in.) front stabilizer bar, and the GTS model employs a 21-mm (0.83-in.) front stabilizer bar. The GTS also gets exclusive sport-tuning of the spring rates and shock damping force. Fitting a stabilizer strut helps ensure optimal roll rigidity and improved steering stability.

is a major factor in providing ride and handling characteristics that might be
expected from a more expensive vehicle. T
More Precise Steering
The 2008 Lancer owes its crisp, fluid steering response to the integration of
the highly rigid body structure, the newly designed suspension, and of course
the new rack and pinion steering system
Confident Braking Performance
The all-new 2008 Lancer GTS not only tames curves, but does so with the
confident stopping power of the same brakes as the larger, heavier Outlander SUV

Operating hints
(1) Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with a manual transmission only) and
do not increase the engine speed more than necessary when starting. (2) Be sure
that the driving speed does not exceed the 100 km/h for trailer operation. It is
also recommended that you obey the local regulations
Height adjustment
Adjust the head restraint height so that the centre of the restraint is as close
as possible to eye level to reduce the chances of injury in the event of collision.
Any person too tall for the restraint to reach their seated eye level, should adjust
the restraint as high as possible.
