WORKS is proud to offer the latest step in the Öhlins Racing automotive philosophy – Road&Track by Öhlins. A more than 30 year long tradition of high-end racing commitments and state-of-the-art solutions within advanced suspension technology is now available for EVO X rally cars.
Öhlins is now releasing the Rally application for the Mitsubishi Evo X - the successor to the Evo IX. The front strut is a Twin piston McPherson strut (TPX44), with a 44 mm diameter piston. It is three-way adjusted; a one-way rebound and a two-way compression adjuster. The rear damper is a four-way adjusted Twin Tube damper (TTX44). The shaft adjuster is a rough rebound adjuster, whereas the single adjuster in the cylinder head is a fine tuner, two-way compression adjuster. The damper has a piston diameter of 44 mm. Both are fully pressure balanced, eliminating the risk of cavitation and, due to low gas pressure, they keep the internal friction low. Both front and rear dampers are delivered with springs. The difference between the MIR dampers for the Evo IX and the Evo X is the stroke, both front and rear, but most striking is the reservoir position on the rear TTX44 damper. The reservoir is pointing towards the rear, instead of up, like the traditional damper. The traditional reservoir position would interfere with the body. Gravel Part No. Front MIR 5J50 Left rear MIR 3J50 Right rear MIR 4J50 Tarmac Part No. Front MIR 5J52 Left rear MIR 3J52 Right rear MIR 4J52 To streamline the spare parts management, we supply the same front damper as one part number, same part right and left. Therefore you need to clock the reservoir position before the installation. Instructions are enclosed with the product. The rear damper consists of two separate part numbers, left and rear due to the construction.
Instructions and tools included.
- Rebound Damping Adjuster:
- Rebound damping on TTX 44 is
- adjusted by turning the golden slotted
- screw located in the black end-piece .
- Total number of clicks on the rebound
- adjuster is approximately 18-20.
- Rebound damping on TPX 44 is
- adjusted with the special tool (01822-
- 03) which is delivered with the damper.
- The total number of clicks is more than
- 60 but the useful range is 30- 0. It is
- recommended to adjust rebound in steps
- of 2-3 clicks.
- Compression Damping Adjuster:
- Low speed compression is adjusted by
- using a 3 mm Allen key.
- High speed compression is adjusted
- with a 12 mm wrench.
- It is recommended to adjust low
- speed compression in steps of 2-3 clicks
- and high speed 3- clicks to fi ne tune
- the set up. The low speed adjuster has
- approximately 40 clicks and high speed
- 0 clicks.
