BALL JOINT DUST SHIELD REPLACEMENTM33TEAF(1) Remove the clip ring and the dust shield.
(2) Apply multipurpose grease to the lip and inside of the dust
shield.
(3) Use vinyl tape to tape the stabilizer link where shown in the
illustration, and then install the dust shield to the stabilizer
link.(4) Secure the dust shield by the clip link.
At this time, make sure that the clip ring ends are located ata point 90”
? 20” with reference to the link axis.

5. POSITIONING OF STABILIZER BAR BRACKET
(1) Align the bushing (LH) with the stabilizer bar markingend and temporarily tighten the stabilizer bar bracket
U-0.
(2) In this condition, mount the stabilizer bar bracket (RH)and temporarily tighten it.
(3) Temporarily fix the both ends of the stabilizer bar to the
link and tighten the stabilizer bar bracket mounting bolts

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
(I)A Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which uses a driver-side air bag, has been installed in the 3000GT.(2)The SRS includes the following components: impact sensors, SRS diagnosis unit: SRS warning light, aiir bagmodule, clock spring, interconnecting wiring.Other SRS-related components (that may have 1:o be
removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance) are indicated in the table of contents byan asterisk (*).
WARNING!(1)Improper service or maintenance of any component of the SRS, or any SRS-related component, can lead to
personal injury or death to service personnel (from inadvertent firing of the air bag) or to the driver (from
rendering the SRS inoperative).
(2) Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.(3) MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP
Ei2B -Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of theSRS or any SRS-related component.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
“1. The G. sensor is a sensor associated with ride control (detecting pitching, bouncing and rough road). If itfails, therefore, ride control stops.
“2. A self diagnostic decision on the steering angular velocity sensor is made by the ECS control unit which
internally detects the voltages of the two sensor output lines connected to the ECS control unit to detectan open circuit in the signal line. When the signal line is short-circuited or when the power line is
open-circuited, however, it cannot be detected. In a situation where anti-roll control only stops, if
self-diagnosis code No. 21 is not on display, a short-circuited sensor output line or open-circuited sensorpower line is suspected.
“3. The vehicle speed sensor is a sensor associated with attitude controls (anti-dive, anti-squat) and steering
stability controls (anti-roll, high speed sensitive controls). If all these controls stop, therefore, trouble in the
sensor is suspected. The vehicle speed sensor is also in use for operation of the speedometer and for theother electronics controlled systems for the engine, automatic transaxle, etc.
“4. The sensor associated with anti-squat control is the throttle position sensor. The sensor is also used for
control of the engine and automatic transaxle. If the sensor fails, therefore, the check engine light in the
combination meter will light, and engine self-diagnosis code No. 14 will be output. In a situation whereanti-squat control only stops, therefore, if the check engine light does not light, defective wiring is
suspected between the ECS control unit and throttle position sensor.
