Are the struts the same for all models with just the spring rating varying? Thanks for any help.

Could do with a parts number book to compare items and to find interchangeability lists.

Thanks. I'd noticed the same part no. on the Europarts site as well. I take it that it's the springs that are different.

Spring ratings will be different depending on the engine weight  Wink
Diesel & V6 heavier than the 4-cyl engines.
