    I need front Struts for my 2018 Challenger GT AWD.
    Problem is that when I call parts stores they try to sell me struts for 2009-2020 models and I didn't think the AWD used the same struts as the RWD models and I certainly know where was not AWD Challengers back in 2009...

    I tried web searches but same kind of results everything just shows results for RWD models.


    Does anyone know what brands/models/part numbers of struts fit the AWD models?

    Does anyone know if the Right and Left side use the same part number?

    I finally found a part number that says it's for the AWD models but it says "Left", but there is no listing for the "Right".... and when I look at the picture I don't see why it would make a difference since the part numbers are only for the strut cartridge itself (not a complete assembly with the springs and forks, I can see where that would make a difference left and right but not the cartridge only yet they are all marked Left with no sign of a part number for the Right).

    Unfortunately there is very little in the aftermarket for front struts on the AWD Challengers and Chargers.

    You have obviously the OEM which I believe they are made by Sachs. Then there is KYB & Monroe and a few no name brands so far

    I have a 2020 AWD Challenger so this has crossed my path as well. I did replace the rears with Bilstein , not knowing where I purchased a set of four shocks on line that the dipshits didn't realize that Bilstein doesn't make the front one yet, though I am hoping soon.

    If you're into lowering your Challenger I did see a few companies that make coilovers where you buy a matched set of four.

    Hopefully this helps a little..

    I contacted Steve White Motors. It needs your car's VIN number to identify the correct part. I can forward this information to Luke for you.
