Is there any difference between a LR and RR Strut
Through a series of confused and messed up transactions, I ended up with 2 replacement left rear struts and no right rear. As far as I can see the only difference between a left and right is the two mounting points for the brake lines.
They can be easily cut and re-welded. Is there another difference that I'm not aware of. |

They are the same except that brake line mount...be careful welding on them as they are pressurized....

The top mounts are not interchangable either

Re: Is there any difference between a LR and RR Strut
The above should answer your question. It will not bolt up to the holes at the top correctly as the mount is different. Bottom line---IT WILL NOT WORK unless you change the top mount AND the weld location of the brake line mounts.

Perfect. I was just confirming. I'll see what I can do with the part swapping.
