hey guys i have another question. i just changed out my k member for a tubular one and im also doing a 5lug swap on the front. my question is are 4cyl and v8 struts the same? im having trouble getting the bolts to line up with my old struts and the 1994 front spindle? any help would be great. i thought they were all the same??

 

You have to slot one of the holes to make it work or update with sn 95 struts if the bottom of the strut is not clearing the ball joint...Struts are close to the same length will interchange but the sn 95 strut has shorter length of material under the bracket in order to clear the taller ball joints studs

P.S. check out my lincoln thread in the projects for pics

 

ok thanks man i will pick up some sn95 struts. i dont want to drill out the hole on the fox strut lol ill hook you up with some rep points thanks again

 

i using fox struts on my swap.bolt right up no problems.i have 94 spindles on my hatch and 03 spindles on my 88 coupe.

 

if you are using 4 banger struts im going to say yes they are different cause I had to do the same, I had to slot the fuck outta them. just go buy some different ones

 

yes the car was a 4cyl

 

ok i got some 96 struts and the bolts line up on the spindle but i cant get the bolts under the hood to fit?

 

96 struts are to long, you need 87-93 V8 struts.

 

I agree SN struts are too long

If you're having problems with the strut clearing the ball joint, USE THE CORRECT BALLJOINT, dont stack washers on top of the old one....

 

i did use SN ball joints no washers my problem is the bolts on top of the struts arent matching the holes on the strut tower (not having a clearence issue)
