rear koni/knuckle assembly

[jsho]

alright guys, ive done plenty of searches. I'm installing rear koni's in my 90'. I have housings from a 95 which i believe work with the 1323's. My question is: can i use the knuckle assembly from the 90' or do i need it from my 95' for the car to sit right?

The rear knuckles are the same from 90-95 [I believe the third gens, also] So, its the same knuckle. And I would think that the mount on the strut for the knuckle would be in the same location, regardless of the long or short housing.

That's correct, the knuckle is the same regardless of the strut length. I can't imagine needing to change the knuckles.

thanks a lot guys, but I still don't understand how there can be two different struts when all v6 years take the same springs. Wouldn't there be a height difference?

I understand what your saying, but if the mounting points are the the same, the physical size of the strut housing shouldn't make a difference. I think its only the housing thats longer or shorter, but the actual piston is the same length.

Make sense?
