So, decided to replace struts for my 2004 chrysler sebring convertible. The rear posed little problem as I was able to find most of the parts. However, for the front it appears there are differences between they different types coupe and convertible. Thinking they were the same I tried the coupe way and get a mount as well as struts.

Later realizing that they are not compatible I returned and got the proper type of struts. However, it appears there are no front coil spring insulators for this car. Has anyone had any luck finding front upper and lower coil spring insulators as all I'm seeing are ones for the coupe style. I found Buy Moog Coil Spring Insulator K7476 at Advance Auto Parts for the upper and appears to fit the mounting bracket, but am unsure if it really compatible.

All else does this mean I have to go to the dealer for these parts?

 

In case anyone is wondering. Just went to the dealer. Wasnt too expensive and least it'll fit.

 

I've done this on both my sedan and my convertible. Never found those parts except through a dealer. With a market big enough to justify making the struts, you'd think somebody would make the spring seats. But they're not that expensive from the dealer. And yes, the coupe is a totally different vehicle, built by Mitsubishi.
