Title: 2001 tracker 2dr front struts
Post by: brandonlyons1 on July 08, 2015, 07:44:52 PM
I recently put a 2" suspension lift on my 2dr tracker, put crown victoria shocks on the back and some ebay struts. The back rides very soft and the front rides like a tank. The struts were probably for a 4 dr. Where can I get some front struts that will make the ride as soft as the back. No winch or aftermarket bumper. Would also prefer some with the slotted hole to adjust the camber. I've seen them somewhere online just can't find them now. Thanks

Some ebay struts huh?  There are several manufacturers that spec the same strut for both 2 & 4 door, so I doubt that your problem is a 4 door strut on your 2 door.

What sort of lift did you use - spacer or spring?

you cant buy slotted struts you make them  but you can buy camber bolts that will help and you will (or should) need to get an alignment unless you like replacing tires

I did the spacer lift. I've got the camber bolts in it now and they just look weak to me. I have seen the struts online somewhere that are configured for your vehicle and it also comes with the top hole on the strut pre-slotted. I can do the slotting myself, but mainly looking for a good quality strut with a soft ride.

2003 vitara front strut VS 95 grandPrix rear strut.  I'm using these in my "epic boneyard budget lift" in the DIY build diary section of zukiworld.com/forum

Also I drive an 87 pontiac firebird in the summer and it has very similar McPherson struts, but I haven't measured the length of the camaro/firebird strut, as of yet
