Expert Answers about Mitsubishi Lancer


  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer
  • The trailer hitch for your 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer that I recommend using is the Curt Hitch Receiver # C11328. It has a max Gross Trailer Weight of 2,000 lbs and a max Tongue Weight of 200 lbs. There is a note on the warranty saying that all non-trailer loads should be supported with stabilizing straps, like part # 18050, otherwise the warranty is voided. This trailer hitch is not compatible with Evolution, Ralliart, and Dual Exhaust models. Keep in mind that you will need to check your...

  • The Rhino-Rack 49" Vortex Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and DK Fit Kit # DK289 will fit your 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer only if it's the 5-Door Sportback.

  • Recommended Roof Rack And Carrier For Two Kayaks On 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer 5-Door Sportback
  • For your 2011 Lancer 5-door I recommend the Thule Roof Rack. You asked about the wind noise difference between square and aero crossbars and without a doubt the WingBar crossbars with the Thule roof rack are considerably quieter than any square bars on the market. On the Thule roof rack the WingBar crossbars have integrated T-slots that can be used for accessories and it also has rubber stripping in the T-slots with a textured surface that greatly reduces wind drag and noise. for this...

  • If you click the provided link, you should be able to see a .pdf copy of the instructions for the Curt # C11328 Class I trailer hitch for your 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer. If you'll be using the hitch as an attachment point for a bike rack or other hitch-mounted accessory, you'll need to use a # 18050 stabilizing strap to retain the hitch warranty.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
  • Yes, you can use the ZCI trailer wiring harness # 119250KIT on your 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. There isn't an official vehicle fit list for this harness. We are adding vehicles to that list as we test fit it on them so that is why you don't see your particular vehicle listed.

  • Will Spare Tire Carrier for Yakima Roof Rack Cargo Baskets # Y07076 Fit Curt Cargo Basket # C18115
  • It should work, the dimensions are a little bit different but they should be close enough to make it work. The Spare Tire Carrier for Yakima Roof Rack Cargo Baskets # Y07076 that you referenced is designed to fit cargo baskets with 1/2 in diameter cross tubes that are spaced 3-11/16 inches apart measured on center. The Curt Roof Basket part # C18115 that you referenced has 1/2 diameter tubes that are spaced 3-1/2 inches apart. That's a difference of a little under .2 of an inch in spacing...

  • Thule Adventurer Cargo Box Fit on Yakima Q Tower Round Bar Systems
  • The QM System hardware for the Thule Adventurer will work with the Yakima round bars. You will want to tighten it a little more than you usually would so the brackets hold the shape of the bar. If you need to replace the mounting hardware, there is a full replacement kit available as part # TH04997

  • 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...

  • Trailer Hitch and Accessory Fits for 2016 Lexus NX200t
  • On occasion a hitch will fit more than one vehicle but usually this is not the case with vehicles that comes from two different manufacturers, in your case Mitsubishi and Lexus. I checked the hitch fits for the 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer and all are for light-duty Class I hitches. The 2015 and 2016 model years of the Lexus NX 200t take only Class II and Class III hitches, as shown on the linked page. Your old hitch will not fit the new vehicle. For your NX200t I suggest you go for a 2-inch...

  • How to Determine Clearance for Snow Chains on a 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer with 215/40R17 Tires
  • Since the tire size that you have, 215/40R17, is wider than any of the OEM tire sizes for your Lancer, you will need to measure to make sure there will be more than 9mm clearance between the tire side walls and tread and the vehicle fender well and suspension components, to use the Thule self-tensioning, low-profile snow tire chains, # TH2004205080. If you determine that there is not at least 9mm of clearance for snow chains you may be able to use the K-Summit tire chains, # TH02230K12....

  • 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...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution w/ Spoiler
  • By 'fairing', I'm assuming you're speaking of the tall spoiler on the rear trunk lid. The spoiler is what creates the fit problem that rules out almost all the bike racks I've looked at, but I've found an option that my Saris representative tells me will fit, the Saris Bones # SA803 will work. . This rack has enough height to reach over the spoiler and attach securely. The Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Rack you referenced, part # HRE3 isn't a fit on Lancer models equipped with the spoiler. If...

  • Installing Curt Class I Receiver Hitch on 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer
  • As of yet, we haven't had the opportunity to install the Curt Class I receiver hitch, part # C11476 on a 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer. I'll link you to the installation instructions, so you can look them over. The installation involves using a fish wire to pull installation bolts into place, so I'll link you to a video that will run you through that process. I've looked over the installation instructions, and they look pretty straightforward. If you're planning on towing with the hitch, be sure...

  • Is Yakima HangOut3 Bike Rack Safe to Use on Vehicle
  • We haven't had any reports of the Yakima HangOut3 part # Y02638 causing vehicle damage. Like with all trunk racks the important thing to do is to keep the vehicle pain clean when using the rack and to always stay under the weight capacity of the rack which is 90 lb or 35 lbs for a single bike.

  • Long Term Battery Charger and Maintenance for a 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
  • 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. This charger is not a trickle charger (trickle chargers can overcharge a battery). This CTEK charger will maintain and recondition the battery and only charge it up again if it needs it. All while staying connected to the vehicle battery. For what you want to do this is the perfect charger. I have linked a video...
