mrvwbug Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) I am looking for rear struts or I think they are struts for my 85 1/2 Dodge Conquest.This is what I think I know which is just not enough information for me to make a purchase.Please let me know where I can get these and if these off brands are really worth persuing? Why is it rocket science to find this stuff? Local auto parts stores are just clueless. You tell them its for a Conquest and you know the routine? Huh? Dodge what?Thanks,SLim Jim KYB 235003 CARQUEST 1914414 GABRIEL G55530 Edited July 17, 2014 by mrvwbug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 More than likely they are NLA. Call them and make sure they have the part on the shelf before ordering. It sucks but it's the truth nowadays with our cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87star Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 D2, just get some D2's and be done with it. Cheaper in the long run as they are already coil over and the fronts come with camber plates. That means you can adjust them as you want. By the time you assemble all the bits to do the same with KYB's (done that) or other brands you'll have spent more money and way more time.

When I sold my Tokico/KYB struts, Ground Control sleeve-over springs, and camber plates it almost fully paid for my D2 coilovers. That said, Starion Parts factory still has struts listed for sale.
