Yes, but... Posted by Gene N [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Suspension component compatibility btw 1990 and 1992?, gavin, Wed, 21 Jul 2004 22:37:27 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It depends on whether the 1992 is a CD (sedan) or a hatchback. The 1990 Turbo models (both sedan and hatchback) had the self-leveling Nivomat shock absorbers on the rear wheels. They will fit on the 1992 hatchback, but you would have to move the springs because the Nivomat shocks have some spring action built in. (This means the rear springs are softer to compensate.) The 1992 CD model may have had the Nivomats, in which case, the rear springs would be identical.
The real question is why would you want to move the parts to the 1992? If the 1992 is a turbo hatchback, it had lowered springs, a stiffer front anti-roll bar and possibly better shock absorbers. The 1990 suspension is normally considered to be less desirable.
