    I need to locate a set of front end struts for a '90 Diahatsu M-S83P-TRK, the chassis no. is S83P-014324. Can anyone out there in Never-Never land help me?

    Get a set of Mitsubishi struts and put them in instead of going to daihatsus - you wont regret it - they work awesome and dont bottom out.

    You'll have to make minor mods to the strut and your steering knuckle to get them on, but it can be done in an hour or so without trouble. Easy upgrade and it makes a world of difference.

    I have a 1993 S83P and it is bottoming out and I figured the coil and struts need to be replaced. Will the Mitisubishi Struts work on it and what part number do I use and where do I get them. I read some of the threads on replacement coils and wondered which coil would pair well with the Mitisubishi Struts. I want to eliminate the bottoming out and smooth up the off road ride as much as possible. I also bought some puncture resistant tires and they rub on the existing coils, can I buy a narrower stronger coil or do I need to space the tire out somehow? Can anyone give me some recommendations??
     
  4. I'll bite. What's the part # and were do you get them?

    struts

    I replaced the front coils on my S83p with 250lb ones. Check for the name on my previous post. They fit perfect and no bottoming out! The springs were $100 and I got a quote for struts that were $500. I would like shock absorbers but not at that price! Happily bouncing down the road - Ralph in Winnipeg
