just as the title says i want to get the right struts for my 88 SI and not order some that wont fit

ive been looking on ebay and they either say 89-91 or 88-91 or just 88 and it is very confusing

 

I'd get the ones that are for '88 - the lca's are different from the '89-'91's. Steer clear of ones that say '88-'91 cause they probably won't fit.

 

88 rear lower control arms are different, thus need a different set of shocks.

You can convert to later control arms and use later shocks, no difference.

Also, the 88's had a slightly different front brake hose routing and only changes the bracket on the shock.

 

so if i rob the rear lca's and front brake hoses off my parts car i can use 89-91 struts

 

 

thanks

 

i wouldnt worry about the brake hose. try it first with the 88.
