can i swap this? reason is my 89 NA is squeeking like a bitch, sounds like a taxi cab. i hate it! my 88 TII never squeeked. the TII is a project now and i will upgrade the suspension when i get it running again (no time soon). so i figured i would swap over...

Springs
shocks
front sway bar (if its diff)

anyone know?

 

according to their website (same part number). as long as i just do the rear shocks/springs only. i would just like to see one of you experts confirm it =) otherwise i guess i'll give em a call...

 

I plan on doing the same thing--I have a 88 GTU with good suspension and 4 piston brakes--I want to use them in my 89 na (automatic-->manual conversion) it has CRAPPY suspension-feels like a boat- mayby just worn out

what is different about the fronts?

 

but i do see diff part numbers @ mazdatrix website.

 

It is most likely different spring rates and/or dampning rates they will probably transfer between the cars ok

 

I recall Icemark having posted about this, but the search function is bloody useless sometimes! >:O

ESPECIALLY when you're trying to find something somone with over 11,000 posts said >:O

 

Squeaking is usually a bushing problem, not springs/struts.
