Post by JRWolff »

Hi All. I'm looking for a pair of OEM front strut assemblies for my 2012 Caprice. If you have a set that you want to get rid of, please let me know a price, including shipping, to central PA. Zip 17046. Thanks much John

Keep in mind that the 2011 struts were a harsher ride than the '12-'13's.

Hi Maurice,

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize there was a difference between the 11's compared to the 12&13's. New parts have the same numbers for all 3 years. Was it the strut or spring that made the 11's harsher? Thank again,

John

The 2011 struts have different part numbers stamped on them than the 2012/13 struts. I have been swapping 2012/13 struts onto my 2011’s as I acquire 2012/13 parts cars. There is a distinct ride deference between the two different struts.
