Ensure all lights are functioning correctly and that there are no significant fluid leaks.

About the Mitsubishi Chariot 4G64 (16V)

This section is designed to provide you with advice and information that may be useful in maintaining your MITSUBISHI CHARIOT/SPACE WAGON Base.

Maintenance Focus:
• Suspension: Inspecting the suspension bushings on the control and trailing arms helps ensure proper handling and ride comfort. Replacement may be needed over time due to wear and tear.
• Engine: Regularly replacing the engine oil and filter, along with ensuring the engine oil pan gasket is in good condition, is crucial for engine longevity. Keep an eye on the camshaft for wear during routine maintenance.
• Braking System: The brake system is vital for safety. Periodically inspect the rear brake hoses and shoes (both for regular braking and the handbrake). Replacement of brake pads (front and rear) might eventually be needed as well.
• Steering & Alignment: Using camber bolt kits can help ensure correct wheel alignment, contributing to even tire wear and optimal handling.
• Engine Components: The strut mounts play a role in suspension performance and should be checked for wear or damage. The cylinder head, timing kit, harmonic balancer and valve spring shims valve will need occasional attention. A functional water pump assists in optimal running temperatures.
