Impal 04 struts for a 6th gen Monte ?
Anyone know if struts from a 04 Impala will fit into the 6th gen Mintes ? The ride from the impala is so much smother than my monte and want to switch it over for a smother ride.... Help !

I just did a cross reference on RockAuto.com and they claim '04 Impala front and rear struts do fit the '00-'07 Monte. Based on that, I think you would be fine.
The next question is, are the genuine GM struts for both vehicles actually different or is it the comparison of one vehicle has a really worn out set of struts and the other does not (or were the struts changed on one of the vehicles already). |

difference is in the springs, monte ss got fe2s, impala got anything from fe1-fe4s
|
the 2000-2004 monte ls use the same setup at the 2006-2011 impala ls
|
and theyre bolt in on the rear of fifth gens too :)
|
exactly and now that the springs have settled it handles so well in the corners minimal tire squeal flying on and off highway ramps its such a nice change to have higher limits.(compared to a bounceing and sliding rearend)

The only thing you really need to watch for is strut height. The struts for the 16" wheels is shorter, so if you got a strut for 17" wheels (and have 16" wheels) you will have a fitment problem.
