Is there any difference in the suspension on the AWD and FWD. Do the years matter? I hit a curb and did something to the strut/steering knuckle and I have a whole setup from a FWD. I was just wondering if there was going to be a difference between the 2 of them?

thanks
 
Yeah the spring rates and shock stiffness. It will physicly fit but might handle a little weird.
 
I know a guy that has AWD springs in his FWD. i heard that the struts in the front are same, but struts in rear are different.
 
Well i just installed some AWD springs in my FWD, fit fine.

Its pretty easy to install springs :) didnt even need the compressor :)
