Mitsubishi Lancer, Mirage, Colt, Expo, Mighty Max 1992 Parts Catalog

If you’re ordering parts for a Mitsubishi Lancer, Mirage, Colt, Expo, or Mighty Max from 1992 and have been burned by aftermarket catalogs that give you the wrong diagram or skip revisions, I get it. I’ve had a parts counter guy hand me a shock that didn’t fit because he used a generic listing. That’s the kind of waste that kills a Saturday. This 2075-page OEM parts catalog is what Mitsubishi dealerships used to pull your exact part number from the factory system. It’s not a third-party reprint; it’s the original 1992–94 Import Parts Catalog for all Mitsubishi-built passenger cars and trucks, plus the Summit from Diamond Star Motors. If you want to know what bushings go in a 1993 Colt front lower arm, you need this.

How to Locate Parts – The Index System

This catalog uses a group-and-figure numbering system that’s explained in the General Information section. You start with the Group Contents page (listed under “Contents” in the TOC), then pick the figure number for your vehicle model and year. For example, if you need the front suspension for a 1992 Colt LC24, you go to Figure 2-100. The “How to Locate Parts” pages (General Information section) walk you through reading the illustration and matching key numbers to the part list. It’s dead simple once you see it, but you have to use the correct figure for your chassis code. Aftermarket catalogs often lump multiple years into one figure—this one splits by model year and body code, like Figure 2-150 for 1993–94 Colt LE21.

Front Suspension & Drive – Figure Breakdown

Group 2 covers front suspension and drive components across every model. For the Lancer, Mirage, Colt, Expo, and Mighty Max, you’ll find separate figures for upper/lower arms, stabilizers, axle shafts, and front differentials. The Power Ram 50 4WD uses Figure 2-1000 for front suspension; the Ram 50 RWD uses Figure 2-900. Each figure lists the exact part number, supersession notes, and applicable model year. Need a lower arm for a 1992 Colt Summit? Figure 2-300. For a 1993–94 Summit wagon, Figure 2-800. The difference is in the chassis code – LC vs. LE vs. CZ. If you order off a generic “fits all 92-94” listing, you’re gambling. This catalog eliminates the gamble. Refer to the Mitsubishi Lancer Workshop Manual”>Mitsubishi Lancer Workshop Manual alongside this parts catalog to confirm fitment during assembly.

Rear Axle and Differential – 7 Models Covered

Group 3 includes rear axle housings, drive shafts, and differentials for every model that had a solid or independent rear setup. The Stealth AWD gets separate figures for housing and drive shaft (Figures 3-100 and 3-200). The Colt Wagon/Summit Wagon AWD uses Figure 3-300. For the Ram 50 and Power Ram 50, you get standard and limited-slip differential covers. If you’re rebuilding a 1992 Mighty Max rear end, use Figure 3-400 for housing and shaft, and Figure 3-1000 for the differential with limited slip. The figure index at the front of the catalog cross-references each model code, so you don’t have to guess.

Brake Systems – Parking and Service

Two groups cover brakes: Group 4 (parking brake controls) and Group 5 (service brakes, including pedals and master cylinders). Each model year gets its own figure – for example, Figure 4-100 for 1992 Colt/Summit LC parking brake controls, Figure 4-150 for 1993–94 LE models, and Figure 4-600 for Ram 50/Power Ram 50. The service brake figures separate pedal assemblies by cable or hydraulic type for Canadian vs. US models. If you’re chasing a parking brake cable for a 1992 Expo, you’d use Figure 4-500 (Colt Wagon/Summit Wagon). Aftermarket catalogs rarely show this level of year-to-year detail.

Source Validity – OEM vs. Aftermarket

This is a direct PDF of the factory parts catalog published by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation in 1992. It contains the original part number prefix system, product bulletins, and California ARB nomenclature requirements (pages INF-14 through INF-26). The aftermarket “parts listings” you find on parts store websites often omit supersession history or use incorrect diagrams. I’ve seen a 1993 Colt listed with a 1991 control arm – different ball joint taper, won’t fit. This catalog gives you the original source data, including the “Parts Catalog Revision Service” section that explains how to track updated part numbers. For the Mitsubishi Mirage 1993-96 Parts Catalog”>Mitsubishi Mirage 1993-96 Parts Catalog you might need a separate volume, but this one covers the 1992 model year of all listed vehicles. Also check the Mitsubishi Lancer 2002 Parts Catalog”>Mitsubishi Lancer 2002 Parts Catalog for later models.

What Kind of Information Is in the General Information Section?

Pages INF-1 through INF-26 cover how to use the catalog: abbreviations, body code plate interpretation, chassis and engine serial number locations, metric conversion table, and the “Symbols Used in This Catalog.” There’s also an alphabetical index and a numerical index to look up parts by part number. If you have an old part number from a bolt you pulled out, you can cross-reference it in the Numerical Index to find the figure and key number. The “Key Numbers” page (INF-7) explains how the exploded views work. This isn’t a repair manual – it’s a parts catalog – but without it you’re ordering in the dark.

FAQ

Does this catalog include the engine assembly?

Yes. The Engine Model and Serial Number section (INF-7) tells you how to identify your engine. Individual engine parts are covered under Group 1 (not listed in the provided TOC excerpt, but the catalog includes all groups from 1 to 10+).

Can I use this to look up parts for a 1994 Mighty Max?

Yes, but only if the Mighty Max is the 1992–94 Power Ram 50 variant. The catalog covers 1992-1994 model year Import Built passenger cars and trucks. For a 1994 Mighty Max with a different chassis code, cross-check the figure for your specific model year. The Ram 50 RWD and Power Ram 50 4WD are included, but the catalog groups by chassis code, not model name. Look under Figure 2-900 (Ram 50 RWD) or Figure 2-1000 (Power Ram 50 4WD). If your truck is not listed under those figures, you may need a later supplement.
