Right, so I failed my WOF today on the right rear lower outer control arm bush.
From what I can see it's genuine part numbers are MR197915/4113A062.
From searching on here it share these with the CE Lancer?
I can't seem to find an aftermarket one that I can buy locally. Mitsubishi NZ want $90 each and would take a while to get in.

Any ideas?

No local stores could find one that would fit, If you know of one, feel free to link it :)

This is the exact bush:

I saw that one, but the description was confusing...
So that would be the right one to buy then? Postage time is annoying :/

Any idea of any aftermarket ones? Nolathane etc?

Damn it's still bouncy. I have sorted the front out...it doesn't go 'thud' anymore over bumps and small potholes.
Rear still does that so might soften it up a bit, was driving at 0 (max hard) for the rear. Front is at 10 now.

I can kind of feel the car responding to every small bump on the road...will look into that after I adjust the rear.

Yep, but you get both inner & outers in the kit.

Yep, wheel alignment done, height adjusted at the same time as well. It would just be the dampers I would guess.

Ok, went for another trial run during lunch. 15 - 15 is nice, tight and responsive and no 'thuds' over bumps. But my innards were bouncing around. So considering the fat guy syndrome, I'll tone it down to 20-20 and check :)

Also noticed the guys who did the ride height adjustment didn't make the car profile nose dived. So got to fix that. Couple of turns on the front coilovers should fix it :)

I'll take it back to the shop then since I asked them to give it a nose dived setting. :)
