I did pull it. Just didn't think to get the year. I was kind of in a rush went between classes.

Might just have to go back and look at the year

Also. Any one know if they make replacement brake dust shields?

I searched real quick and someone said that only 90-92 d35 came with dust shields. Any truth to this?

Quick question. Those shocks I got are not forcing the shaft out. The thing is the new shocks didn't even have the metal string holding them in the compressed position. Do you think I should send them back. Every new shock ive bought had that metal wire but not these.??

They are a hydraulic shock not a gas charged shock. That is why they don't extend on their own.
