Heyyo y’all! I recently purchased an ‘89 Toronado Trofeo with 104k miles on her and the front struts are blown and the rear shocks are starting to go. Are there any struts/shocks that are cross-compatible with the Toronado? I’m having a hell of time trying to find anything suspension related for this car.

 

You can either take them to a local hydraulic repair shop, or you can search for the GM interchange numbers.

Front: 801800

Rear: 801801

I got a few hits searching with those numbers. If you're able to get new struts I suggest you keep the old ones in case you can't find them again in 15 years.

 

I too own a very nice 1988 Toronado base car. Parts other than basic drivetrain parts are extremely difficult to find for these cars. Hopefully your exhaust is in good or very good shape. Pipes do not exist for these cars. Especially a Trofeo.

 

Found some front struts:
Look at this website:

Let's see some pictures of your Trofeo

 

 

I don’t have any pictures of her currently. But these are the pics from the ad

 

Let me know if you need any help finding parts or how to fix something

 

thanks man! I’ll definitely remember that!

 

Beautiful Toronados.

 

 

Here are some photos of one of my 92's.... I also have a maroon 64K mile parts vehicles, but unfortunately it has a lot of undercarriage rust issues...

 

Nice pearl white car!

 

That’s a beautiful car!

 

would any other e-body suspension work on this car? is there any cross compatibility?

 

The eldorado suspension should cross over. They are all common. Try to stay away from self leveling rear struts.

I installed aftermarket (Monroe) leveling rear struts in my 96 98, they have since failed again. Either that or the leveling pneumatic pump went bad. Next time I disassemble the rear suspension I will use non-leveling struts.

 

Thanks, I am considering changing the interior to maroon from my maroon parts vehicle... BUT the tan is really growing on me...

 

Thanks, it hasn't been driven much since the paint work was done, due to a blown brake line and the need for the front exhaust pipe...

 

hey man im trying to find struts or another car that takes the same struts for the rear i have a 89 toronado trofeo having a hard time finding

 

im looking for sum newer suspension as well i have a 88 trofeo

 

The front struts are available. They are $264 each. Haven't found a rear replacement.

 

where are they avaliable

Thanks for posting the link. Since that eBay vendor only has 1 available, I'd be hesitant to have one good and one bad rear strut. I stand by my suggestion above that folks should inquire with local hydraulic shops to have the OE struts rebuilt.

 

The ad reads he has a pair of them.

 

DOH!

 

what years of toronado has suspension compatibility? I found struts for the ‘91s but they seem to be longer than the ‘89s. Would they still work?

 

I can't tell you the 91's will work or not.

 

yea im very curious about the suspension variants as well

 

I have some rear struts for sale.
