Can someone with more knowledge than me help me out on this. I want to replace my front and rear shocks on my car. On kseriesparts, it shows the same part # for the 02-04 and 05-06 for the KYB rear struts. However, on the KYB website, nothing comes up for the 05-06, only for the 02-04. Also, there is no listing on KYB website for front shocks for 05-06, only 02-04. Are the 02-04 and the 05-06 the same? According to Kseriesparts the driver side front 02-04 will fit the 05-06 but not the passenger side....It's confusing... Here's the link to Kseriesparts:

I'm tired of seeing this question. If you checked your own thread, you would've seen that I answered it.

AGAIN

All strut/whole assemblies will fit on ALL years.

It's the SPRINGS you have to worry about when it comes to OEM.

Let's break it down if it's too hard.
02-04 struts will fit on 05-06
05-06 struts will fit on 02-04

02-04 front springs will NOT fit front 05-06 struts.
05-06 front springs will NOT fit front 02-04 struts.

Rear springs are same.
