  1. Recall that a few gaskets are leaking oil ... Sob. It's my car that you picked up. I miss it, but can't take it to England with me.
  2. Dear USMBers, Please help me keep my XT6! Love, love my black 1988 XT6 4WD. So much that I paid to store it (properly) for 10 years while I lived overseas. Ended up paying half as much for storage as I did to buy it new! But the air suspension is finally going. I’ve already replaced one of the front air struts, and the rear driver’s side air strut has just blown. No longer available from the manufacturer, as you all know but I’ve only recently learned. Beloved spouse has long agitated to sell the car. In view of the difficulty of finding a rear air strut, I’m beginning to lose the battle. HOPE YOU CAN HELP!!! I’ve posted in the marketplace here and on other sites looking for air struts AND non-air (coilover?) struts that I can use for a conversion. I understand that I need to get the latter from an XT6 2WD if I want them to bolt on at least somewhat easily. In the meantime, I’m hoping you can help me with a question: are there any (non-air) struts that I can buy new that will fit my 1988 XT6 4WD? Some sites claim that KYB GR-2 /EXCEL-G rear shock absorbers and strut assemblies will fit an '88 XT6 (non-air suspension). Part number KY341063. (Would need fronts too, although these are very different, as I have recently learned.) Will these work? Do you have any experience with finding new, non-air struts for an XT6 that will fit my 4WD? ALSO, does anyone have spare air struts for sale, esp. for the rear driver’s side, or XT-6 2WD struts? I'm in a bit of a panic, as my car is in the shop awaiting struts, while spouse is shopping for cars. Many thanks in advance for any help you can give me!!
