Cusco Carrosse GRAVEL Pillow Upper Mount Front RG CT9A

This is the Cusco Carrosse GRAVEL Pillow Upper Mount for the front of your Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII, VIII, or IX. It replaces the stock upper strut mount, giving you a more direct connection to the road and improved steering feedback. If you're looking to get a better feel for what your front tires are doing, especially during spirited driving or track use, this is a solid upgrade.

These mounts are built with a pillow ball bearing, which allows for smoother articulation of the strut compared to a rubber bushing. This means less flex and deflection when you're turning the wheel, so the input you give at the steering wheel translates more precisely to the front wheels. The GRAVEL designation suggests it's designed to handle the rigors of gravel rally stages, meaning it's well-built for demanding conditions. The RG designation indicates a specific version within Cusco's lineup, often related to material or design updates.

When installing these, you'll want to ensure you have the proper tools to handle the strut assembly. It's a good idea to consult your vehicle's service manual for the correct procedures. You'll notice a more immediate response from your steering after installation.
