bluegp Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 The rear strut assemblies from a 2nd gen W don't interchange with a 1.5 gen W, do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfox340 Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 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. - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZMonte Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 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). redZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegp Posted February 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 the 1st gen w-body and the 1.5gen are the same except the rears...have a spring purch...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.

RedZMonte Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
