quick question
i though aleros had struts all around. why do the kyb gr2's say "kyb gr2 for grand am, malubu , alero... comes with two front struts and two rear shocks." ?
am i just retarded and this is what i want or is something different thats incorrect?
thanks

Yeah, there are struts all the way around. Just the mounting plate in the rears are different.

well being on e-bay that would be the first red flag the seller doesnt know wht hes selling. I have seen that very common on ebay. Some think a 8.5 inch 18 or 20 will fit on our cars, lmao
the second is some model years may have shocks n struts, I have noticed a lot of changes from 99 to 04, like the DRL being low beams rather then high, and the rear breaks being drums not discs.
I know the 99 has struts all the way around, cant speak for 00-04

find someone different to buy from, that doesn't look right. i know the aleros have 4 struts, some people that don't know any better interchange the word shock/strut. so if they don't know the difference, don't buy from them.

If you are just looking for a atock replacement, here i found these
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-98...fA ccessories
just do a search and when you find a set of 4, research it a lil
KYB, tokiko (sp)
I beleive Koni adjustables were the ones used on the OSV
