I can find front struts with springs for 1988 through 1991 no problem, but nothing for 1992. My manual shows a very clear picture of struts, and they look very similar to those years 88 through 91.

My question is are the frames the same as my 1992 and listed years 88 through 91.

Thanks

Phil

Yep, those are hard to find, I did find the left from on rockauto.

There is only one left so if you want it, you better get it and then try to find the right one.

I got this later today, maybe help someone.

Thank you for your inquiry about our strut assembly for the 1991 Pontiac Sunbird. Unfortunately, according to our records, the coil spring parts of the strut assembly for the 1991 model and the 1992 model are different, and therefore may not be compatible with each other.

We understand how frustrating it can be to not be able to find the right parts for your vehicle, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Thank you for considering our products, and we wish you the best of luck in finding the correct strut assembly for your 1992 Pontiac Sunbird.

Yep, that is the driver's side front. Sorry about the parts being hard to find, did you try eBay for a used unit?

Yes, found a pair on Ebay, no springs, found springs Rock Auto site. I'm in Canada and they don't ship here. I will be going to the USA in September and will try then.
