Hey guys I'm looking to replace my strut mounts for my 86 but many parts stores say the fwd and rwd Corolla has the same strut mount. Is this true?

These are the Toyota OEM part numbers...

48609-20060 Corolla FWD DLX, DLX All Trac, FX, FX16, FX16 GTS, GTS, LE, SR5, SR5 All Trac
48609-12130 LH, Corolla RWD Sport DLX, Sport GTS, Sport SR5
48609-12100 RH, Corolla RWD Sport DLX, Sport GTS, Sport SR5

I am not aware that the FWD and RWD parts interchange. The RWD parts are different and
only fit on the correct side. It appears that the FWD parts are the same both sides. I see that
both types have a generic listing of "Toyota Corolla" with some parts duppliers, and the model
designations are similar. This is likely where the confusion comes about.

When buying you need to make sure that the supplier actually lists the part as crossing over
to the OEM Toyota part. Just... yeah, fits an 84 Corolla... will not be good enough

From 1983 - https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/toy ... mount,7600

click on ANY of the part#s listed and you'll see the year span - 1982-1987

This is the listing for 1986 (note some of the same #s) https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/toy ... mount,7600

For the benefit of anyone who stumbles onto this thread in the future,
what was your conclusion from studying the parts catalogs ? Are Ae86
strut mount same as FWD?

Thanks a lot everyone Yes they Are Different. I did end up ordering through rockauto and found they specify RWD left and right side so that helped. So for future reference anything I order must say RWD lol
