Can't find struts for 92 MX-3 V6 with ABS

Post by hype-A »

Hey, has anybody out there try to find struts for the MX-3 v6 with ABS? I can't seem to find one. All the companies that I looked into say they are only for the non-abs v6 model. I tried KYB, Tokico, Koni, Gabriel, and some other brands. Does anybody out there know if the non-ABS strut work with a car equipped with ABS. Or can I use struts from another car like mx-6, 323, so on.<P>Thanx<p>[ February 19, 2002: Message edited by: hype-A ]

The only difference is the ABS strut is equipped with holes to allow you to mount the bracket that secures the ABS sensor wire. Buy the struts of your choice and then use your old struts as a guide for modifying the new ones.<BR> :D

I am having the exact problem. Can't find struts with ABS. Did find an OEM replacement from autozone (part # 324, 322) but they were $113.99 per strut. I like pelado's information better. Thanks!

I think canadian tire sell struts called censi-track or somthing like that. Its a gas strut and I think they carry them for abs equipped cars. Im not 100% about this but its worth a try if your that stuck.
