meltboy1 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Are the struts on my 89 the same as all 88-96 Grand Prixs? I got bad turn plate or strut plate... whatever they are called bearings in the front and my rear left strut it shot, I was just gona get some j/y ones for now as it is sounding really bad and my steering is getting affected now too, so it's not the safest to be driving atm...

Brian P Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 all the same fitment wise, but if you get a late '95+ 1st gen struts, grab the rotors too as they're larger. Quote
meltboy1 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Posted July 8, 2008 ok, if I do that, will my calipers still fit? Last time I was there the newest they had was a 93, but it's been a couple weeks. Quote
Brian P Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 yeah, same calipers and I think the bracket is the same too. Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 You're probably gonna spend just as much on j/y strut assemblies as you would on brand new front strut bearings/struts.. Quote
meltboy1 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Posted July 8, 2008 nah, struts at my local pull it are only $20 a pop Quote
SnowDrift Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 you're not really going to buy used struts, are you? Quote
meltboy1 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Posted July 8, 2008 not unless you feel like sendin me about 180 bucks or so Quote
Night Fury Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Used struts? Especially from a jy? Do you know how they handle those cars? Quote
1990lumina Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 I'd strongly suggest not buying used struts - whatever you have now can't be that bad to wait a few weeks and buy new ones. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Stop being cheap and put some new KYB's in that thing. Quote
meltboy1 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Posted July 9, 2008 Well I need to at least get these bearings done... they are bad Quote
1990lumina Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Buy the new plate - what's to say the junk yard plates won't be fucked as well? Quote
meltboy1 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Posted July 9, 2008 ya good point... may as well only do it once I guess... well I wasn't close to payin off my credit card anyway yet... so may as well pull it out for this one too... Quote
