Mitsubishi Lancer 2002 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Specs

If you’ve ever ordered a part for a Mitsubishi Lancer 2002 Parts Catalog only to get the wrong clip, bracket, or bumper cover because the aftermarket listing was close but not exact, you know the frustration. I’ve been there. That’s why I keep factory parts catalogs on my bench. This 20-page OEM Mitsubishi Lancer 2002 Parts Catalog gives you the exact numbers – no guesswork, no cross-referencing third-party lists. It’s the same data the dealership parts counter uses.

Front Bumper Assembly: Coupe Part Numbers and R&R Procedures

Open to the Front Bumper section and you’ll find exploded diagrams with callouts for every nut, bolt, clip, and cover. The catalog separates Coupe from Sedan models – for example, the Grille Assy lists part numbers for Coupe (P) and Sedan separately. Need a blind nut or bumper garnish for the 2002 Lancer? Page 1 shows exact Mitsubishi part numbers like MR248289 for the rear bumper assembly. The R&R (Remove & Replace) procedures are referenced directly in the diagram so you know which fasteners come off first. This isn’t a generic illustration; it’s the factory layout.

Brake System: Factory Part Numbers in the 2002 Catalog

The Brake System section covers everything from calipers to brake lines, but the catalog groups parts by assembly. You won’t find a list of every single bolt – instead, you get the major components with their Mitsubishi part numbers. If you’re rebuilding a brake caliper or replacing a master cylinder, you’ll need the right seal kit or piston. The catalog references those sub-assemblies. Pair this with a workshop manual for torque specs – but for the parts themselves, this is your single source. Mitsubishi Lancer Workshop Manual covers the removal and install steps in detail.

Engine Cooling and Cylinder Block: Sections You’ll Use

Engine Cooling lists radiators, fans, hoses, and thermostats. The Cylinder Block section gets into pistons, rings, bearings, and gaskets. These factory part numbers are critical when ordering from a dealership or online parts house. I’ve seen too many diyers order a head gasket for the wrong displacement because an aftermarket catalog lumped all 2.0L engines together. This catalog distinguishes by model year and trim. If your 2002 Lancer has an Oz Rally model, the Stop Lamp part number MR252839 is different from the LS model. That’s the level of detail you get.

OEM Parts Catalog vs Aftermarket: What’s Missing?

Aftermarket parts catalogs often skip the smaller fasteners, retainers, and hardware that can stop a job cold. Ever had a job stall because you needed a specific bolt for the front bumper reinforcement and the local parts store didn’t stock it? This OEM catalog lists every clip, nut, and screw – like the 4 clips for the front cover assembly (part numbers on page 2). You can order exactly what’s missing before you start. Mitsubishi Lancer, Pajero io, Carisma 2001 Workshop Manual – OEM covers the service side; this catalog covers the parts side. Together they eliminate the runaround.

Special Cautions and Information Labels

The catalog includes sections for Air Bag System, Clear Coat Identification, and Paint Code Location. For example, the Special Cautions page notes that air bag components have specific handling procedures – you won’t find those warnings in a generic list. The Information Labels section gives you the exact sticker numbers for emissions and paint codes. If you’re repainting a panel or replacing a deployed airbag, you need these details. Automotive Industry Overview provides context on why OEM data matters, but this catalog delivers the raw numbers.

20 Pages of Factory Data: What’s Inside

Twenty pages doesn’t sound like much until you see the density. The Section Index covers everything from A/C & Heater/Ventilation to Windshield. You get Front Suspension, Rear Body, Fuel Tank, Seat Belts, Wiper, and more. Each page is packed with exploded views, part numbers, and quantities. The rear bumper section alone lists 21 separate items with Mitsubishi part numbers. 1992 Mitsubishi Lancer Mirage Colt Expo Mighty Max Parts Catalog shows the same format for earlier models. For the 2002 Lancer, this catalog is the correct reference. Automotive Battery might be unrelated, but the point is: factory data is factory data.

Does this catalog include torque specs?

No. This is a parts catalog – torque values are in the workshop manual.

How are the part numbers organized?

Numbers are listed by assembly section (e.g., Front Bumper, Rear Bumper) with exploded diagrams. Each fastener, clip, bracket, and trim piece gets a Mitsubishi part number. The catalog uses R&I (Remove & Install) and R&R (Remove & Replace) codes to indicate which parts are used during service. For instance, the rear bumper assembly page shows “R&R Rear Bumper Assy MR248289” and lists additional bolts like MR250142. You cross-reference the diagram to find the exact item you need. This is the same system dealership parts departments use, so your local dealer can pull the number and get the part.

If you’re tired of chasing wrong parts or waiting on returns because you ordered a bumper cover meant for a different trim, stop the cycle. Access the Factory Manual for the 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer and get the numbers that match your car. It’s 20 pages of factory-verified data – no aftermarket guesswork, no cross-referencing third-party lists. Put it on your tablet or print it out. You’ll save time and money because you’ll order the right part the first time.
