Parts for your 2024 Mitsubishi Triton-Strut mounts

Are strut mounts used on the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton?

Short answer: no, the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton doesn’t use strut mounts. Mitsubishi’s own technical material for the all‑new Triton (2023 global launch notes and local 2024 spec sheets) details a front double‑wishbone suspension with coil spring and stabiliser bar, and a rear leaf‑spring setup. Australian and NZ road tests and tech breakdowns (for example, CarExpert’s 2024 Triton review and NZ Autocar’s technical notes) report the same layout. Because it’s not a MacPherson‑strut vehicle, there’s no strut top mount/bearing assembly to service.

On a MacPherson‑strut car, the strut mount is the upper locating point of the suspension and a steering pivot with an integrated bearing. The Triton’s double‑wishbone front end locates the wheel with upper and lower control arms and ball joints, while the coil‑over shock is simply a damper/spring unit mounted to the chassis. Its top mounting hardware is a rubberised shock mount or “top hat”, not a strut mount with a steering bearing. Steering loads go through the ball joints and control arms, not through a strut tower.

For owners chasing a suspension refresh or chasing down a clunk, the relevant wear items on a 2024 Triton are:

• Front shock absorber upper mounts/top hats and lower bushes
• Upper and lower control arm bushes and ball joints
• Sway‑bar links and bushes
• Rear leaf‑spring bushes, shackles and U‑bolts
• Wheel alignment (especially after any suspension work or off‑road use)

If there’s knocking over corrugations, vague steering, or uneven tyre wear, it’s worth inspecting those components first. When fitting lift kits or uprated coil‑overs, the Triton still doesn’t gain a true “strut mount” in the MacPherson sense, you’re replacing or reusing the shock top mount hardware and addressing control arm geometry, not adding a strut‑top bearing.

• Does the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton have strut mounts?
  It doesn’t. The Triton uses a double‑wishbone front end and a leaf‑spring rear, so there’s no MacPherson strut or strut‑top bearing to service. The upper attachment for the front coil‑over is a shock mount/top hat, not a strut mount.
• What should be serviced instead of strut mounts on a Triton?
  Focus on front shock top mounts and bushes, upper/lower control arm bushes and ball joints, sway‑bar links/bushes, and rear leaf‑spring bushes and shackles. A post‑repair wheel alignment is a must.
• Will a lift kit add strut mounts to my 2024 Triton?
  No. Even with aftermarket coil‑overs or a lift, the Triton remains double‑wishbone. You’ll upgrade shock/spring assemblies and related mounts, but you won’t add a MacPherson‑style strut mount with a steering bearing.
