Front Struts, will they work?

[jt351]

Hey guys wondering if anyone has done this i think it should fit, Will newer struts and springs off of a 97-02 fit my 95 conti. Trying to do a low buck air to spring conversion air to spring, and get the fronts from a salvage yard and buy the rear conversion from arnott or wherever, unless someone knows what application the rear springs and I can fab up the mounting plates, thanks I am asuming the fronts are the same cause strutmasters sells the same fronts from 95-02, but am just chaecking if any has actually done it.

come on, noboby has tried this, 1997and newer front struts on a 1995? Also I found something funny the other day I ordered a front air bag for a 95 conti for a customer from strutmaster, but opened the box and inside it was a box from arnott. I thought they were competitors?

I am not an expert, but I looked at strutmasters webpage and viewed the old struts and maybe you could do the same. I see the old struts have the airbag incorporated into them, the newer ones are air struts, no air bag. Don't know if this means different mounting brackets or not. You could also talk to someone at Ford.

my car is a 1997 Continental.

I dont know if they will work or not either (I have a 91).

but you might wait for some people to get a chance to look at the post, and maybe do some research for ya before you start sounding impatient.

not trying to be impatient just want to sell it, I found a pair of used front struts off of a 97 conti for 100$ only thing is that this junk yard has to get it from another yard in another city And if it don't work it gets weird trying to take the parts back. I was only wanting like 2000$ for the car, its got 100k miles on it exactly armrests are a little torn up and a small dent in the quarter,
