as the title says. and to make a short story long...

I think somone stole a rear strut from my yard or i'm gettin old and lost it. But I need to change a rear strut on my car cause the bushing has fell out comletely.

Right now I'm just looking for a quick fix to dirve the car around so it doesn't sit any longer. I'll research and save some money to get me all 4 corners redone.

If it matters the car is lowered with eibach springs or something.

search didn't help and most of the things are about 5 lugs and fans. but i'm wondering what and if there is a car that shares the same type of shocks as a 89 Lx. I go the junk yard every now and then so i was hoping to find something there. but they trashed all the foxes and there is none now.

ask the yard if something will interchange shocks with a fox mustang. specify v8 as 4banger shocks/struts are not interchangable.
