a third gen finally showed up at the strip-lot over here. Can't get parts yet but soon.

anyway, are the hood and rear window struts interchangeable between an 89 firebird and 91 camaro? I think they are but i'm not sure.

I'm tired of using a pole to keep the trunk and hood open

 

 

They'll all interchange, but some do have different strengths. For example, ones from a GTA with an aerowing will be much stronger than the lifts from a base model Camaro with no spoiler at all. Hood struts should be about the same, as I don't think hood weights varied that much.

 

The important difference will be whether or not the car(s) in question have a defroster or not. And sometimes a rear wiper, though I can't imagine the difference...

 

you aren't a real thirdgen owner with "THE POLL"

btw, i just got new struts a few weeks ago, and i LOVE them. i still keep the poll out of habbit though

 

i used to use a poll for my 88 camaro and formula, however when i bought the 91 formula the hood and hatch stayed all the way up

 

heh yeah. and if your rear struts aren't managing to hold up the hatch anymore, removing the spoiler makes for a good fix my buddy was removing his spoiler and got a nice little bonus when the hatch didn't konk down on his head.

 

Yes the struts do vary in strength from the factory. And the defroster equiped cars have grounds on both ends of the struts. They will work just as well in cars without the defroster.
