RMVR53 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I picked up 2 pair of struts on E bay a while back for my 87 XT. 2 pair with 2 different part numbers 1 number apart. Pretty sure they are made by Monroe. Would these be a left/right or anyone have an idea..or know what the actual PN's are.... on the boxes it says 81788 and 81787 ideas?

One is a right and the other a left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 they are still interchangeable. might have to swap the top mount. i've done it before and i think i swapped the top mount but i can't remember if that was for fitment or some other reason, but i swapped them left to right for sure.

RMVR53 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 You are correct. One is a right and the other a left. Thanks, thats kinda what I thought. My question arose from how they were sold. They were sold the 88's together and the 87's together. Thats what got me wondering if there was a difference other than left/right. When I get them put on I'll offer up the other set (unless I find another XT to put them on!!) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Are they for a 2wd or 4wd? Theres a difference and finding front struts for a 4wd are getting harder to find. All the ones I have found on Ebay are 2wd. I have had 2 orders cancelled in a week. One for KYB's and the last one for Sach's. I'm calling my Dealer today to see if he has OEM ones.
