Front Strut Question '03-'06 Vibe

Post by BlueCrush »

I know the front struts for the AWD and Base are the same, but are the GT's struts the same as the AWD and Base as well?

IIRC the AWD model uses IRS (same with the GT??) so they would have an actual strut, but, I think the base, with the torsen rear end, is coil and shock, not a strut.. Someone correct me if i'm wrong here, please.. lol..

The front struts which I think are the same in all 3 models. But I just need someone to confirm for the fronts.Thanks for bringing that up though, Sublimewind. A lot of people don't know the difference between the 3.
