RA vs MN Parts

[Missile]

Quick question regarding genuine Ralliart parts, bushes/mount inserts in particular.
Do some of the later model Ralliart parts come with a MNxxxxxx part number, rather than an RAxxxxxx.
E.g. do the later model evo's come from the factory with Ralliart bushes, or is it retailers flogging off a Mitsubishi part as a Ralliart part?

They are flogging off standard parts as ralliart.

The propper group n (ralliart) part numbers are available from ralliart m

And the Ralliart part will have the hardness up (im assuming).

Yep

To throw a spanner in the works:

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation supplies Parts No."MN58xxxxx" for Group N VO competition parts

http://www.ralliart.com/eGRN/parts/x.html

So it seems like MN58xxxx will actually have the hardness up as opposed to the normal Mitsubishi part.

I have taken a look at say a CT9A Upper Radiator Support Bush
MR464628 - Mitsubishi Replacement Number
MN580132 - Mitsubishi number for the Group N part.

Being Ralliart has been dissolved wouldn't surprise me if the RA part numbering system for Ralliart parts has been re generated as MN***** part numbers

As above, MN58**** are the Ralliart parts

yes I know that if you know how the parts number generating system works? you'll understand my statement!

when they change part numbers its because they have located a new supplier that makes the same parts for them, at the same or better quality, and cost can be cheaper or more expensive

but these are still HS90 for both RA and MN
