Chrysler Laser, Talon Parts Catalog – 1990-1994 Factory OEM Documentation

I’ve been twisting wrenches since before most of you were born. When a parts catalog lands on my bench, I look for three things: real OEM data, correct part numbers, and illustrations that don’t leave me guessing which bolt goes where. This Chrysler Laser, Talon Parts Catalog covers 1990-1994 model years from the Diamond-Star Motors joint venture between Chrysler and Mitsubishi. 528 pages. Factory printed by Mopar Parts Division. That’s the kind of backup you want when you’re trying to figure out whether the front axle on the AWD Talon uses the same CV joint as the FWD version. (It doesn’t – Figure 2-300 vs. 2-350 shows the difference.)

Aftermarket catalogs? Half the time they copy from a copy and the part numbers are wrong. This PDF is a direct scan of the official Chrysler publication. It includes everything from the General Information section (abbreviations, vehicle certification label locations, engine model stamping) to every numbered figure in Groups 2 through 8. You want the intercooler pipe for a 1991-94 Talon? Figure 7-550. Need the ABS modulator? Figure 5-450. No guesswork. Every illustration has an index, and the numerical index lets you cross-reference part numbers back to the figure and item number.

Group 2 – Front Suspension & Drive (FWD vs. AWD)

One of the reasons this manual stays on my bench is the way it separates FWD and AWD parts. Figure 2-300 covers the front axle for FWD Laser/Talon; Figure 2-350 does the same for AWD. If you try to swap half-shafts without checking the figure, you’ll be pulling it all apart again. The exploded views include every bushing, bearing, and snap ring. Torque values aren’t listed in this parts catalog (that’s what the service manual is for), but the part numbers are 100% correct – I’ve ordered by them twice and never got the wrong piece. For a related manual with detailed wiring and PCM diagnostics, see the Chrysler Neon Talon Sebring Avenger Eclipse PCM Training Manual 38p.

Group 5 – Service Brakes: ABS vs. Non-ABS Lines

Brake lines on these cars rust out, especially here in San Antonio with the humidity. The catalog splits front lines into W/O ABS (Figure 5-500) and W/ABS (Figure 5-550). And if you’re chasing an ABS problem, Figure 5-560 and 5-570 show the wheel speed sensors for FWD and AWD separately. Don’t order a sensor for a FWD car and try to bolt it onto an AWD hub – the difference is in the bracket. Page 1 of the catalog states it’s for 1990-94 model years; the figure numbering system is consistent through the whole document.

Engine, Cooling, and Intercooler Figures

Three different water hose/pipes figures: Figure 7-900 for the 1.8L engine (Laser only), Figure 7-1000 for 1990 2.0L, and Figure 7-1100 for 1991-94 2.0L. The intercooler has two figures – 1990 (Figure 7-500) and 1991-94 (Figure 7-550). This is the kind of year-specific splitting you need to avoid sucking air. The drive belts and pulleys are in Figures 7-600 and 7-700. The catalog also covers the oil cooler and lines (Figure 7-425). When you’re piecing together a 4G63 swap, having these exploded diagrams saves hours of staring at a pile of engine parts.

3 Reasons to Use an OEM Parts Catalog Over Aftermarket

First, the part numbers are directly from the Chrysler engineering database. Aftermarket catalogs sometimes round up or down, and you end up with a bearing that’s 0.5mm too thick. Second, the illustrations show the exact hardware – bolts, washers, bushings – with item numbers that correspond to the parts list. Third, the Numerical Index lets you look up a number you found on a broken part and see what group it belongs to. That’s something no generic PDF offers. For a full factory parts breakdown on the Challenger, check the Dodge Chrysler Challenger Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs, 242 Pages.

Does This Parts Catalog Include Torque Specs or Service Procedures?

No. It’s a parts catalog – it tells you what part fits and its OEM number. For torque values and step-by-step repair instructions, you want the Factory Service Manual. What this catalog does give you is an exact list of every fastener, gasket, and seal. If you’re rebuilding a rear axle with limited slip (Figure 3-250), you can order the clutch packs, shims, and bearings by the figure and item number. The illustration index in the back helps you skip straight to the right group. For the 2007-2008 Chrysler sedan family, see the Chrysler 300 Magnum 300C Charger 2007 Parts Catalog.

FAQ

Does this manual cover the 1.8L Laser engine?

Yes. The water hose and pipe figure for the 1.8L engine is Figure 7-900. The catalog also includes engine-specific parts in Group 7 (cooling) and Group 8 (electrical).

Can I use this to look up parts for a 1993 Eagle Talon TSi AWD?

Absolutely. The catalog covers 1990-1994 Laser and Talon models – both FWD and AWD. The AWD-specific figures are clearly labeled (e.g., Figure 2-350 for front axle AWD, Figure 3-250 for limited slip differential). Use the Numerical Index to find part numbers.

Are the illustrations clear enough to identify a bolt size?

Each illustration is an exploded line drawing. The parts list next to each figure gives the OEM part number and description (e.g., “Bolt, Flange – M10×1.25×30”). You can then order that exact bolt. If you need a torque spec, that’s in the service manual, not here.

How do I find a part if I only know the old part number?

Turn to the Numerical Index in the General Information section. It lists every part number in the catalog sorted numerically, along with the group, figure, and item where it appears. This is the fastest way to cross-reference a superseded or obsolete number.

Stop burning hours chasing bad part numbers from aftermarket sources. This is the real OEM Chrysler parts catalog, scanned from the original Mopar publication. 528 pages of factory-stamped data. You want to order the right CV axle the first time. You want to know which intercooler pipe seal matches your build year. Access the Factory Manual – it’s the only copy that matters.
