They also upgraded the rear axle after 01 and the shock link on the rear is cast on the 01. I think the 01 square tube sub frame are alluminum and the round are steel.

 

I went oustside for a peek and no cut out in reverse with my 01

Here is what I found:

5LP-00

F8T37971 1217

same here,mitsubishi emblem on it

 

amazing if that is true
ive bent two stock axles on my 04
dont think anybody i know with an 01 has

 

I wonder what the last four numbers denote?

 

01 sub frames are aluminum.

There was a post YEARS ago by KNOWSALOT that told specifically what each and every number and letter stood for in a part number. I ahve never been able to find it again, but it would tell you if you can find it.

Weird problem you have there Mr.45. I wonder if the 02 models will work on an 01, just maybe with a rev limiter.?.?.?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
