Title: Front struts
Post by Lazenby43 on Jan 1^st, 2012, 3:06pm

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.

They appear to list KYB replacements as having the same part no's across the range here:

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.

KYB list 2 springs, 1 for 2.0/2.3 and the other for 2.5/2.9

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