digging up an old thread here, but, i need to know for sure what struts i have.
ive taken a part number off them and the only one i can see is : AS-1020-RH
the mob that makes em is called Armstrong Australia.
ive done quite a bit of searching, so i was hoping one of you part number gurus could help me out.

Some struts have part numbers on them. Do any of yours? post up the numbers, and I can tell you what car they come from.

Another method is the visual method. See Strut Photo Index.

Does your ute have non-1200 struts?

One method of identification is to remove one strut, & remove the shock from it & check the part number stamped into it. Go to that makers website & find the part number in the Nissan/Datsun listing.

You would really only need to check the 1200/120Y/Sunny listings at first, then the 1600/180B/200B listing as this would cover about 99.9% of strut conversions in drum braked 1200's in Australia.

This would be a measure of last resort, but it would work.

i am in the process of looking for new front shocks for my ute but before i go and buy anything i want to know which ones i have.

i have searched but cant find anything to help me identify the differnet types out there since i am not sure which ones kmy car has.

the ute has a disc brake front end with trx rims which dont scrub if that helps and it very low

any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
Ariel
