I went to ORiely's and they gave me the wrong rear shock. They told me the FWD and 4WD shocks were the same. So I brought it home and it is way different than the ones I had installed.... any tips?

    That's a non-wagon unit on yer left there...fits 89-91 hatch/sedan/crx.

    FWD and 4WD shocks probably are the same, but that ain't one. The higher position of the lower perch gives it away.

    Thats what jumped out right away.

    I would think that with the differential in the rear, honda would put a different shock on the RT...?

    Majestic shows the same number for both. Heck, that little pumpkin don't weigh 30lbs WITH the axles.

    edit: and if anything were to be different, it would be the spring. Remember that the strut is only a damper.

    Read lowering in this link to find out why they gave you the wrong shock:

    I didnt tell the parts store guy that I was lowering my wagon... so.... he has esp?

    What if I only pu the EF rears and leave the front struts alone?
    Would that be terrible?
