NEED HELP: rear strut mounts protege / protege5

[killuminati]

hello y'all..

I've been searching forums, but nothing helped me yet/didn't found what I was looking for, so my apologies if there's similar thread..

so, does anybody know does rear strut mounts for Protege fits Protege5? in my country they are called 323/323F.. Mazda EPC differences B25H-28-390 for 5-door and B25D-28-390 for 4-door..

I need part number B25H-28-390 (5-door), but all I can find in local parts store is B25D-28-390 (4-door)..

I'm not sure if there's difference in USDM and EUDM parts number, but maybe it helps..

found some ROCA's strut mounts on eBay and they claim that it fits both 4-door and 5-door, but usually sellers will say anything just to sell it no matter it fits or not..

for example: MOOG also says that part no. MD-SB-9858 fits both 4-door and 5-door, BUT kayaba's american catalog shows only SM5456 for Protege, not Protege5?!?

so please help me asap as my local parts store delivered me B25D-28-390 (4-door) and I have limited time to bring back mounts if they don't fit..

thank you in advance! (bowdown)

LOL nobody?

it fits, you have to replace two of three studs, as they are a bit longer on hatch than on sedan.. you can use studs from old strut mount..

Did you get this handled?

yes, I already installed them, all good, just replaced two of three studs as I mentioned above..
