What later model year?
The simplest way other than actually trying them is to look at the
aftermarket replacement part numbers. If they are the same, then they will
fit. You can also go to a wrecker and compare parts.
That said, the answer is probably yes they do fit some later models, to
about 1996 or even later. Mitsubi**** changed many vehicle models over in
the
92-93 years, but the suspension designs were the same until about 1996,
perhaps later depending on the vehicle model. The lower strut mounting M12
bolt holes are the same for all car models (handy eh?) as strut angle is
defined by the axle knuckle. The thread on the top of the strut is the
same
for all. What tends to be different are
- the position and angle of the spring cup and the diameter of the spring
used.
- the length and diameter of the strut tube.
-
The standard shock rates will be about the same (and makes little
difference
with used parts).
