    Anyone here know if the part numbers or the struts are the same from 2004 to 2005? I want to replace my front struts in my '05 and can get a good deal on '04 struts. The seller was not sure if they are compatible. Thanx. :)

    They haven't changed for the 2004-2005 years, nor in mounting for '06 to '07 yet either.

    If you can, it's better if you can get the '06 - '07 struts because of improved stiffening.
