SUBJECT: REPLACEMENT OF STRUT ASSEMBLIES - 25 MM STRUT ROD VS. 22 MM STRUT ROD ON 1982-1988 CIMARRONS
1982-1988 Cimarrons were equipped with struts with either 22 mm or 25 mm diameter strut rods.
All service stock in GMSPO for Cimarrons has been commonized to the 22 mm diameter strut rod with specific internal valving for individual applications. Therefore, struts from GMSPO will have 22 mm diameter strut rods, even if the vehicle was originally equipped with struts with 25 mm diameter rods.
The difference in strut rod diameter has no noticeable affect on vehicle handling, performance, or strut durability. When replacing an individual strut on a vehicle (due to accident damage, etc.), it is not necessary to replace both struts due to different strut rod diameters.
