Suspension Part Interchangable? '98 Struts/Shocks/Mounts on '96

Are the suspensions on 4th gens interchangeable between all the years?

i'm replacing my current Sprint/AGX suspension with Maxspeeds and reusing the same AGX's. the problem is that i believe my strut bearings may be toast or on the way there and I am sure that the strut mounts are rippped to shreds. can I just take the perches, bearings and mounts off a stock '98 suspension and use those with the maxspeed/agx combo. are there any fitment problems between years?

Yes - it will all fit. I wouldn't recommend reusing the strut bearings though. Those are prone to failure and it's best to just use new parts.

No time to go cheap here. It will suck to have to redo the suspension job as well as paying for another alignment.

i have free lifetime alignment from firestone, so it doesn't matter about the alignment. but it would be a ***** and a half to rip the hole thing down again to replace that one little part.

i've had it for 2 years and talked them into giving it to me with my suspension as low as it is. since the sprints affect the camber and the car doesn't hold an alignment terribly well i've been back every three months
