Re: 12 bolt?

most likely not.

3rd and 4th gens use a torque arm style rear suspension, no other GM car uses the same setup. You have to use a rear setup for a torque arm. These would all be aftermarket housings, either from Moser, Strange, currie, ect. The 12bolt you are being offered is most likely setup for leaf springs or a 4 link style and will not work.
