Picture request: ACR tension struts - SRT Forums

Rich Tideswell · 10-20-2009, 08:42 PM

Can any of you forum members help me out? I'm looking for a picture of the ACR rear tension struts. I'm trying to verify if they have paper tags on them or any paint marks that say "SRT" or something like that. Even if you don't have a picture but can verify this I'd be greatly appreciated.

Found this stamped on them:

The pieces themselves are the same on all SRTs (maybe Neons too) the bushing is the piece that changed to a harder piece mid-2005

Rich Tideswell · 10-26-2009, 12:08 PM

correct, they are the same as regular Neons - atleast they were susposed to be....... BUT in late 2005 there was a switch to the MP bushing for the SRT-4 and to differentiate between the two on the assembly line at the plant, the stiff bushing ones got paper tags (or so i belive/ recall) that said "srt" or something like that

Now i check those numbers in post #1 (05272251 driver side and 05272250 passenger) and they are for a 2005 dodge neon

So, I don't see any identification on mine though it might be stamped somewhere I couldn't see. They could have worn/fallen off, but I do still have the stickers on the springs and sides of the struts all around.
I do certainly have the stiffer bushings with these parts.

the numbers i posted in post #1 are stamped into the arm. Yes i realize its a long shot asking about a paper tag 5 years after a car was built and i truely appriciate you taking the time to look for me - and anyone else for that matter

I have an 05. How can I tell if I have the harder rubber tension struts?

Feel the bushing. If it's nice and firm, you've got'em..... or if yours have tags on them, you will know for sure then too.......
