Swapping 2002 Cavalier Strut Mounts for 95-98 ones
Sunday, January 29, 2006 8:24 PM
Do I only need to swap the Front Two Strut Mounts for the 95-98 ones???
........or do I need to also swap the Rear Strut Mounts for the 95-98 ones also???

I assume the 2002 Cavalier Rear Strut Mounts are the same as the 95 and up and haven't been changed, but I just want to double check , please correct me if I'm wrong............

What do I all need if I want to do the swap, like strut mounts, duh, but I want the whole assembly, so does the spring seat or whatever come all together, or do I need to buy the mounts and other parts???

Rear mounts are the same 95-05. Fronts just changed design in 2000. You can get it all together (spring seat, bearing, bearing plate).

No. But I'm a Network Admin, so I'm in front of an Internet connected PC all day, and I control the Internet Logs. At home I've got cable, my GF has cable, and I've got a laptop with wireless on top of all that. So I'm just really well connected.

I don't see the bearing in that picture or the spring seat.

ok the bear should fit into the larger piece on the right of the picture, up in the "bell". there is a washer in there but it does not move smoothly. I know I need to get the top washer. when I tried to get the spring insulator on before and I could not get it to sit naturally on the mount ( from my 2002). this is how i was assembling it ( insulator not shown here because its on the car. ( is the spring seat and insulator the same thing? it looks like what is in the book but it was made to sit flat )
