I have a question about upper strut mount applications
Monroe list a different number for 87/88 as opposed to 83/86
whereas KYB and Moog list the same part number for all 83/88 except 87/88 turbo .
Can someone enlighten me as to why ?
I know the turbos have ride control , but what is the difference in non TC uppers ?
Me too and it may be the terminology you are using. Struts are the dampers on the front of the car. Are you talking about the caster/camber plates for the struts or are you talking about the upper control arms (UCA's) on the rear end of the car?

The front upper strut mounts with the three bolts and the rubber bushings is what I am referring to.
I am using the name that the above named manufactures use .
Caster camber plates I understood to be what aftermarket replacement adjustable pieces were called .
I figured out the answer to my initial question after some research.
87/88 birds and cougars use a different strut (damper)than the earlier cars .
Actually the same struts as the mustang , where as the 83-86 have bird specific struts .
The Monroe pieces have a different parts pack than the others that is the difference as to coverage .
Glad you figured it out and this is some good info I am sure someone else will need in the future. I had no idea that these were even available at a parts store. I just installed a set of Maximum Motorsports CC plates for a T-Bird on mine and was done with it.
