I'm getting ready to replace the struts on my 97 Cutlass Supreme SL with KYB's. The question is, how do I identify the Heavy Duty Suspension from the Standard Suspension ? Evidenty the front strut mounts are different, but how can I tell what I have ?
Thanks ............

Look at the rpo label in the trunk Fe1, 2 or 3 designates the suspension. Fe1 is std.

Thank You ! FE1 it is ! Don't run off too far, I'm sure there'll be more questions. As I told someone else, " With age doesn't always come wisdom " .

Well, at least there are no spring compressors needed on this one. I was able to tell it was Friday the 13th, though ! New brake pads also ended with rebuilt back calipers. Oh, the fun of it all .............. and I'm still not done.
