There is a mid-year change in the size of the top of the front springs. Please check to see which tops are in your car. Open the hood and look at the top of the struts. If the struts have a black plastic cap, this should indicate that you have the large spring top. Use part number 54764, 54764-55 or 31016-1. If there is a round metal top with rubber around it and no plastic cap you should have the smaller spring end. Use part number 54748, 54748-55, 54748-88, 31016-2 or 31016-3.
