Parts for your 1990 Mitsubishi Pajero-Suspension bushes

1990 Mitsubishi Pajero Suspension Bushes

Based on the Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero factory workshop manual for the L040 platform (covering late‑80s to 1991 models), the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue, and general repair references such as the Haynes manual for 1983–1996 Pajero, the 1990 Mitsubishi Pajero is absolutely fitted with suspension bushes. These sources detail rubber bushes at the front upper and lower control arms, sway bar mounts and links, shock absorber eyes, and—depending on trim—either rear leaf spring eye/shackle bushes or trailing arm and Panhard rod bushes on coil‑spring variants.

On a 1990 Pajero, suspension bushes are the quiet achievers. They isolate vibration, keep alignment stable, and let the arms and links pivot smoothly without metal‑on‑metal contact. With the Pajero’s independent front suspension (double wishbones with torsion bars) and live‑axle rear (leaf springs on many Aussie/NZ models of the era, coils on some trims), healthy bushes mean tighter steering feel, surer braking, and less tyre scrub on and off the blacktop.

Age, UV, mud, oil contamination, and corrugations will harden, crack, or oval out the bushes. As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to check them every 10,000–15,000 km or annually, and more often if the vehicle sees beach work or rough tracks. Look for perishing, splits, displaced sleeves, and shiny witness marks from movement. Pry bars and a keen eye will reveal excessive play
