Some folks won't know you can use pieces of it on earlier cars but as a complete unit as being sold, it won't work on 86's.
Also, turbo struts will not fit 87-89 NA's. The bolt holes where it attaches to the spindles are spaced differently. They will not bolt up without modification (and compromising the integrity of the suspension).

Yes, all late struts have the same bolt spacing 87-89 for 944na and turbo, that's why you can take the M474 suspension out of a 944s and install it on a turbo and vice-versa. With all due respect, what is the source for your information?
