maybe2fast Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 on my way home, felt like I hit something, got out, everything was fine... turns out the drivers side strut assembly snapped. melted my tire because of rubbing...shit I need to know my morning if the springs on a 92 Euro 3.4 are any different from my 90 Euro 3.1? The Euro3.4 has FE3, but isn't that just swaybar difference? Thankz guyz and wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 it'll all bolt up, might ride a bit different though if it's a different stiffness than everything else on there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe2fast Posted October 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 so the springs are different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgizz Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 it wont hurt to put the drivers side assembly on for now and do the other when you can. i had FE3 assemblies from a gutlass 3.4 - threw the drivers side in my sister's base FE1 lumina, car was just fine, put 15k on it and never bothered doing the other side.

maybe2fast Posted October 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 so the spring is stiffer than the FE1 spring. it won't throw the alignment off or anything? I just will have better cornering on one side 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EurosportZ34 Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 switch 'em all so you'll have FE3 all around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFromColorado Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 like others have said, take both front springs so you have an even springrate in the front end. Also, if you can pull the monoleaf from the rear, you'll want to do that to. it's probably also about time for new struts in the front at least - maybe rears too just to keep the whole car balanced. you'll need an alignment after you replace all that stuff. --Dave.

maybe2fast Posted October 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 http://www.w-body.com/index2.html if you look at the chart my car had FUX springs on it now the drivers front has the CJK spring on it and the passenger still has the FUX spring. I will eventually put the other side on but, it rides nice, so I will leave it for now. pics soon...boy the strut assembly was destroyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I personally would swap both fronts but I don't think that you will notice a difference if you only swap one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe2fast Posted October 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 it corners like a mother fucker around right turns 8) the left hand turns inproved too I will eventually change the other one over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimp19 Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I had a simular thing happen last year the d-side front spring plate on my cutty rusted out, the whole thing fell right on the tire. Luckily I was only going 15mph. Where exactly did yours break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
