1998 v70 base vs. v70 AWD suspension question

Post by SonicAdventure »

Hey a guy in my area is parting out a 98 v70 AWD (not a XC) and he's got lots of new suspension parts on the car.

I am mainly interested in some interior parts and stuff like that, but would his front struts fit a base model? I know he has the 4 bolt LCAs which won't fit mine.

Thanks.

The car is located in NJ check South Jersey craigslist. Blown head gasket but the body looks real good. I'm going to pass because a lot of the parts I need aren't compatible due to AWD

He is only asking $350 for the whole car
