On a 88 GT where do the front shocks go? Please post pictures.

I will explain further onces I see a few front suspension pictures.

Thanks

Only pic I have. The shock is inside the coil spring.

Here is another view:

Thanks guys.

Ok here it is.... I believe that my 87 has an 88 front suspension. My car has both the 87 and 88 shock absorber locations which mean I can either mount my shocks the 87 way or mount them the 88 style.

What a surprise for me.

Again thanks for the pics

someone may have converted it to the 88 front and left the old mounts in place.
not a bad deal

Have any pics of this?

...if they swapped in the 88 suspension it should be easy to tell by the front brake disc (unless they left in the 87 spindles). The 88 uses a sealed bearing in the front, hence the disc will be different (on the 87 the bearings fit inside of the rotor assembly - the 88 disc comes off the bearings unit - you have just the disc).

perhaps I'm juming the gun thinking/claiming this?

I still have the 87 spindles. I'll post some pics soon and you guys can tell me what's up.

however inside my coil spring there's a boot no shock and an opening on top and bottom that look like it can accept the installment of a shock obsorber.

Anyhow I'll post some pictures as soon as I can.

If somebody swapped in a 88 front ont that 87, 87 shock mounts and spindles should not be there.

It might be an 87 coil over front (could it be ???)

Can wait to see pics
