  • Will the Thule K-Summit Lug Nut Adapter Work with the Dorman Autograde Wheel Nut Lock
  • I did some research on the Dorman Autograde wheel nut lock you mentioned and found that the sides of the nut are smooth to prevent the wheel lock from being removed with conventional tools. You will want to attach the Thule lug nut adapter to one of the remaining standard lug nuts, with 6 wrench flats, that hold the wheel on your vehicle. Only one standard lug nut is required for attachment of the K-Summit tire chains. I posted a video showing these chains being installed that should...

  • You can keep certain battery chargers connected to a vehicle battery all the time such as CTEK charger # CTEK56353 which would be ideal for your 2015 Mitsubishi Lance Evolution.

  • Can 58 Round Bars be Used Instead of 48 Bars for a Yakima Roof Rack on a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  • Even though the recommended Yakima round bar roof rack combination for you 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer includes the 48" bars # Y00408, you can still use the 58" bars # Y00409 along with the BaseLine Towers # Y28TR, Round bar adapters # Y03536, and BaseClips # Y06180 (you need two sets) for a complete roof rack. The only stipulation when going with longer crossbars is that they are no longer than the side mirrors on your vehicle. If you measure from the edge of one side mirror to the edge of...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS with Rear Spoiler
  • I did some research on the spoilers on the 2008 Mitsubishi GTS and based on what I saw it looks like the only trunk mount that is going to work is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-top rack, # HRF2. This rack is built with an extra extension that will put the top straps of the rack over the spoiler so as not to interfere with it. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter...

  • Best way to Carry Bikes on my 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR
  • I have a solution but with the spoiler on the Lancer you will not be able to safely carry bikes using a trunk mount rack. Instead the SeaSucker Mini Bomber Roof 2 Bike Rack part # Item # 298-BM2006 will allow you to carry 2 bikes or the SeaSucker Bomber Roof 3 Bike Rack part # 298-BB3008 to carry three bikes. These are pricey but eliminate the need to also purchase a roof rack system. This rack is very cool and will look great on your GSR. The cups hold it on the vehicle so tight there...

  • Catback Exhaust System for 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS that's Louder but Not Obnoxious
  • I have a great exhaust system for your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS with a 2.4 liter engine but it's not a dual exhaust setup. Magnaflow has the # MF16822 as a confirmed fit for your vehicle and it will be the exact type of loudness you are wanting. Moderately loud on the exterior and mild on the interior. It'll sound good without any drone on the highway.

  • How do I Tow My 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer with Standard Transmission?
  • I have a solution for you. I went ahead and looked up your owner's manual for your 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer, and I discovered that the manufacturer says you cannot flat-tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground. Also, with your standard transmission, you can use a tow dolly to transport your vehicle if you have a front-wheel drive model. For the tow dolly route, I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable - 4,800 lbs # DM9713045. The Kar Kaddy SS provides...

  • Can a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Be Flat-Towed
  • I checked out the owner's manual for a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer and according to this, the vehicle can only be transported on a tow dolly. The only models we offer a tow dolly for are front wheel drive as these can be towed from the front with the front wheels off the ground. The other models will either need to have the rear wheels or all wheels off the ground. I recommend checking out page 6-23 if you need further clarification. For a tow dolly, I recommend the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with...

  • What Keeps Bolt from Turning in Frame for Trailer Hitch Installation on a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer
  • The short answer is you don't! The longer answer is that there will also be a block fishwired in and the bolt will go through the block and the hole in the frame. The block prevents the bolt from turning because it can't fully rotate within the frame. The block has a square hole in it and the bolt head has a square part that will fit in that square hole so the bolt also cannot spin within the block. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Sedan with Rear Spoiler
  • Since your 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer sedan has the tall spoiler, the Hollywood Racks Express trunk mount bike carrier, # HRE3, will not work. I checked with Malone and you can use the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MPG2139. I have included links to videos on all of these racks for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005....
