I can tell you what ones NOT to use. I have Gabriel VST strut carts on mine. Granted they work great, but the never fit right and rattle inside the housings. The shop that installed them ended up stripping out the gland nuts just trying to get them to seat. I retightened them but they kept popping off. I resorted to welding the nut on. Now they are in there forever!!! This is probably the last set of struts this car will have. Rust has gotton too far and my 245 may only have a few winters left in it's body. Maybe I'll find a rust free 242 that needs a motor by then.
