Mitsubishi Montero Sport Wheel Center Caps

The Mitsubishi Montero Sport is an all-purpose SUV. While you’re out taking care of business, a wheel center cap may go flying. If you need to replace Mitsubishi Montero Sport wheel center caps to keep your ride looking nice, OEM parts are readily available.

Wheel center caps are the small discs in the center of the rims. They cover the hubs of the axle and protect them from being affected by the grime on the road. The center caps are also a style feature on the Mitsubishi Montero Sport. They give a smooth, finished appearance to the wheels and polish off the look of the vehicle.

The Montero Sport has been on the market for years, but Mitsubishi has made few changes to the center caps. However, there is one thing about them to keep in mind when shopping for replacements: they typically use a slightly different cap on the rear and front wheels.

The center caps have plastic retaining clips on the back and a wire that holds the cap to the hub. The clips are gold-colored for the front wheels and silver-colored for the back wheels. They also have an “F” stamped into one of the clips on each front center cap and an “R” stamped into one of the clips on each rear cap.

It’s also a good idea to have your part number on hand when you are looking for new center caps. The number is found on the back of the caps, so pop one off your vehicle and use it to get a match.

All the caps for the Montero Sport are round. They may have either a knurled or smooth edge, depending on the model year, and they’re 5.25 inches in diameter. Additionally, they are available in chrome or silver as the Mitsubishi three-diamond emblem, which is engraved into the center of each cap.

The small tool kit that was included with your Mitsubishi SUV contains a tool to remove the wheel center caps. In some cases, it’s possible to just pull the cap off by hand, so you can try that first. Be aware that the wire inside the cap may stay attached to the hub, so you need to pull that off, too. If you’re reusing the cap, you can slip the wire back inside it.

To install the wheel center caps, just push them in from the front side of the wheel. They should click into place. If the front wheels are too easy or the back wheels are too hard to snap into place, check to be sure you don’t have them switched.
