Trail master 6” lift kit. Installed 2003.

I need new replacement strut cartridges. Last time I replaced them I was told by someone that front struts for a 91’ Voltswagon Golf were a direct replacement. Purchased them and they worked great. I ordered the same pair of KYB from Rock Auto this time and cartridge body is like a 1/4” too big in diameter. They won’t fit in lift kit strut housing......
Any ideas ??????

 

Send them back and try a different brand?

There is lots of room in a VW spring for different diameter struts.

 

10-4. Will do. Thanks foe the help. I really appreciate it. Smitty

 

Try a local parts house?

Might pay a bit more but the exchange will be easier if they don't fit

 

Finally purchased Gabriel Struts and they worked perfectly.
