Parts for your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer-Pedal pads

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Pedal Pads — What They Do and When to Replace Them

Pedal pads are fitted to the 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer (CJ series). Factory literature and parts references such as the Mitsubishi Service Manual for CJ Lancer and the Mitsubishi ASA/CAPS parts catalogue specify rubber pedal pad covers on the brake pedal for automatic models, and on both brake and clutch pedals for manual models. The accelerator is typically an integrated pedal assembly without a removable rubber pad. These technical sources confirm pedal pads are relevant and used on the 2009 Lancer.

On this Lancer, the pedal pads are simple rubber covers that slip over the metal pedal arms. Their job is straightforward but critical: provide grippy, cushioned contact so the driver’s shoe doesn’t slide, especially in the wet. Over time, the rubber hardens, polishes smooth, cracks, or thins out—reducing traction right when reliable braking or clutch control is needed.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to inspect pedal pads every 10,000–15,000 km or at each service visit. In Australia and New Zealand, worn or missing brake/clutch pedal pads can attract attention at WOF/RWC checks because they’re a basic safety item.

• What to look for: shiny or slippery surface, cracks or splits, edges rolling off the metal pedal, or the pad not sitting square.
• When to replace: if the pad feels slick underfoot, shows visible cracks, or won’t stay seated snugly.

Replacement is easy DIY and low-cost. Use a mild cleaner and a brush to remove grit from the pedal before fitting. A touch of warm soapy water on the new pad’s lip helps it slide on, avoid oils or silicone that can leave things slippery. Hook the top edge first, then work the sides and bottom over the pedal plate until the pad’s lip fully captures the metal all the way round. Give it a firm press to confirm it won’t shift. If driving a manual Lancer, replace both brake and clutch pads together so grip feel is consistent. For authenticity and best fit, genuine or OEM-equivalent pads listed for CJ Lancer in Mitsubishi ASA are recommended.

If the accelerator’s surface is worn or damaged, it’s usually a replacement pedal assembly rather than a pad, check the service manual and parts catalogue listings specific to the VIN and transmission type.

Popular questions about 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer pedal pads

Do all 2009 Lancers have removable pedal pads?
Yes for the brake pedal on autos, and for both brake and clutch on manuals. The accelerator is typically an integrated module without a separate rubber pad. Always confirm against the Mitsubishi ASA/CAPS listing for the exact trim and transmission.

How often should pedal pads be replaced?
There’s no fixed kilometre interval—replace when they’re shiny, hard, cracked, or slipping. Many owners find 3–7 years is typical depending on use, footwear, and climate. If in doubt, renew during a brake service for peace of mind.

Can pedal pads be changed at home?
Absolutely. It’s a quick job with basic hand pressure—no special tools needed. Clean the pedal, warm the new pad if it’s stiff, and work it over the pedal so the lip seats fully. Test for secure fit and non-slip feel before driving.
