2000 Mitsubishi Galant Brake and Rotor Replacement Part 1

[nils001]

Have you done any mods on the front suspention? This doesn't look like a 2000 (8th gen) galant to me, as they have 4-bolt hubs and this one seems to have mcpherson struts instead of the dual wishbone....

@nils001 No I have not the suspension is stock, but you must remember it is stock for the USDM version of the galant. the suspension set up may be different on a foreign version. I would go to the galant Wikipedia page and look up the 8g it explains the USDM difference. and all 8g and 3 g eclipses are 5 bolt, I think the 7g is 4 bolt. all of the 1999 + Mitsubishis are 5 bolt

[nils001]

@dcitmf Thanks! I never thought the USDM had a different suspention setup. Did a little research and I don't know if i should envy you or feel sorry.. lol USDM appear to have bigger rotors and most likely better brakeing, but the JDM has the dual wishbone (from the 7G) wich is sweet.. lol

[dcitmf]

@nils001 Yea from US perspective I think they felt that the car could be watered down performance wise and increase the safety issues so maybe that why brakes are bigger. But the JDM's are always better. better styling, more aggressive performance, and more options. but Ill take what I can get.

[nils001]

@dcitmf : Over here the brakes have a bad rep (warping under heavy abuse) still they do get the job done. My 4g63 took 4 + luggage up the autobahn over 130mph, performance wise i aint complaining. They're great cars and i love the handling and reliability.

soundtrack gets in way of narration!

[dcitmf]

@danielzee40 yea sorry about that this was the first video I made in imovie so I didn't know I could lower the soundtrack.

[dcitmf]

If anyone has a question about something else on the car I can see about making a video or at least direct you to the answer.

[hp11208]

is this the same for 1999

[dcitmf]

@hp11208 in general this would work for every car. but the 8 gen galant is made of 99-03 galants so yes this will work for your 99. sorry for the late reply I have been roofing.

Excellent video, man. What is the soundtrack in the background? I have a 2000 Galant and so whatever more tips and tricks you can post would be great!

[dcitmf]

@mlgordon26 Well, the soundtrack in the back is some track that came stock on a macbook so I'm not sure what it is anymore. As for things I have done, I have taken all interior out of my car and installed sound deadening material to the cabin. while there I did fuel cut button, my own fabricated trunk and system install, voltmeter led panel, upgrade ALL interior lights to LEDs, vinyl full interior in two tones,eclipse 3g 17" wheels, silver tint, and got my head unit to play ipod videos.

Nice video man. The bolt trick to get the rotor off was pretty neat. Whacking it with a hammer sounds so stupid now.

[dcitmf]

@Baldr2 Thanks I saw it in manual or in the pdf for the galant.

VEry informative also i have divx webplayer and the High quality made the video very clear. Just an extra fyi thanks for posting this.

[dcitmf]

@edtonna thank you very much for watching the video. Once it gets warm here I might make some more videos of things I am doing. thanks again.

[akubenko]

It would be better to show what you're doing coz when camera in one position impossible to see what are you doing

[holliman6426]

thank you so much for making this video

[dcitmf]

@holliman6426

no problem, I wish I could redo the video. I started to get some high pitch squeals so I switched to hawk pads and put brake quiet on the back of the pads. I also cleaned off the wheel hubs with a wire brush before putting the new hub on.

Hi, we have a Mitsubishi Galant 2000 ES 2.4IL DOHC. It needs brake replacement now. Could you please suggest the best brands that we can buy onile? cause the firestone and brakemasters gave quotes that are on the pricy side, so we were planning to buy the parts online and pay only the labor to get it fixed (we don't have a garage to do it ourselves) Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
