86ruguy Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 The reason you're having trouble finding them for the 85 is because they had adjustable spring seats,which all of the replacements don't have. I'm not completely sure if the 87 and up will fit but if they do it might lower the rear a little bit. There are KYB GR2's available however 1985-86 4WD Wagon (Exc. Air Susp.)

Numbchux Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'm not completely sure if the 87 and up will fit but if they do it might lower the rear a little bit. the new ones will fit fine, and are the same length as the adjustable ones in the lowest position. so if you've got them adjusted up.....it'll lower it, otherwise it'll be the same.

Gloyale Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 If you get struts for a 2wd it will actually give you a bit of a lift. The 2wd struts have a higher spring perch. But any Rear strut for any 85-94 EA82 will bolt in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
