Parts for your 1993 Mitsubishi Pajero-Suspension bushes

1993 Mitsubishi Pajero suspension bushes

Suspension bushes are absolutely used on the 1993 Mitsubishi Pajero. The Mitsubishi Pajero NH/NJ Factory Service Manual (1991–1996, Suspension section), the Mitsubishi ASA dealer parts catalogue, and independent repair manuals such as the Haynes/Gregory’s Pajero/Montero 1983–1997 all specify multiple rubber bushes throughout the Pajero’s suspension. On this model’s front double-wishbone torsion-bar setup you’ll find upper and lower control arm bushes and stabiliser (sway) bar bushes, while the rear coil-sprung live axle uses trailing arm bushes and a panhard rod bush, plus stabiliser bar D-bushes and link bushes where fitted.

On a 1993 Pajero, bushes are the quiet achievers: they isolate noise and vibration, keep alignment stable, and let suspension arms move smoothly without metal-on-metal contact. Good bushes help the wagon track straight, brake cleanly and ride comfortably on corrugations and city streets alike. When they’re tired, the Pajero can feel loose or crashy over bumps, tramline on worn roads, and chew out tyres.

Typical wear points and symptoms owners should watch for include:

• Clunks or knocks over speed humps (often sway bar D-bushes or links)
• Wandering, vague steering or shimmy (front control arm bushes, idler/pitman wear may compound)
• Uneven or rapid tyre wear and braking instability (arm and panhard bushes)
• Visible cracking, splitting, or oil-soaked rubber at bush locations

Maintenance is straightforward. Inspect bushes at each service or at least every 20,000 km, sooner if the Pajero works off-road or tows. Rubber doesn’t like heat, oil or UV, so leaks near bushes should be fixed quickly. Replacement is best done in axle pairs to keep handling balanced. Press-fit arm bushes usually require a press and correct drifts
