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?

You are correct. One is a right and the other a left.

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.

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!!)

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.
