I noticed that the lancer has stamped steel lower control arms but the RA has cast aluminum lca's. Are the 09 RAs the same?

 

.....pretty easy to see if you take a look under your car.

stamped steel..... NOT cast aluminum

 

no i'm saying MY RA has cast aluminum LCA's. i'm wondering if 2010's are different than the 09's.

 

picture?

 

All RA's come with a full steel suspension. Only the Evos have aluminum.

 

sorry, i meant RUCA's. and the forward arm that connects to the rear lca appears to be aluminum as well. it's vastly different in appearance compared to the regular lancer i saw in the showroom.

 

That looks like steel to me, but the quickest test would be to put a magnet on it. If it sticks it's steel, if it falls it's aluminum.

 

thats wut thought as well ..
(check out MRT's comparison video)

ya thanks genius. 82,200 results. i didn't get any video results.

let me reiterate this for those who aren't getting it: my 2010 RA has cast suspension parts. i saw a lancer at the dealership with the bottom exposed (flipped on it's side) and noticed that there are NO cast parts aside from the knuckles. ALL STAMPED STEEL. i got excited and thought maybe the 2010's have some suspension improvements and decided to post here.

i took a closer look at my car and used a magnet. it's steel. *sigh*

has anyone looked at their 2009 RA suspension and noticed cast parts, and not stamped steel?

...i just went by the local mitsu dealer. ( a couple of blocks from my work).

i looked under a bunch of '10 RAs'.

they look just like my early production '09.
