rear struts replacement and brand.
« on: January 08, 2016, 05:32:01 PM »

I've just changed out my woreout front struts, which btw was easier than I anticipated.
My question is should I replace both my rear struts as well. My rear pass side strut is shot, and which brand should I go with, KYB's are on the front,  but looks like they aren't available for the rear locally...Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks

I need help finding the right rear struts as well. I've seen some online but am not positive they are the right ones. Thanks

I had done it a few weeks ago. You can buy the struts of an mazda 323 BF. They are the same. Another way is. Go to rockauto.com. there you can get them for mefcury caprim but its the same as mazda 323 BF
