Strut Interchangeability?


Recommended Posts

The rear strut assemblies from a 2nd gen W don't interchange with a 1.5 gen W, do they?

 

Nope, otherwise we'd be all lowered and taping into the Gen II aftermarket.

the 1st gen w-body and the 1.5gen are the same except the rears. the monte's have a spring purch and a coil on each of the rear. where as the 1st gens have a mono leaf spring. but the struts has the same dimentions (other then the spring purch).

Now that I didn't know (that the actual rear struts had the same dimensions between the two). The reason I originally asked was because I saw some 2nd gen strut assemblies on eBay and my '96 Lumina could use some new struts back there.

i suggest getting some KYB GR-2's or a pair of sensatracs. they are cheap and have a warrenty. the 2nd gen ones will not work on anything but a 2nd gen
