Protege parts on a Protege5

[P5freek]

Will parts for a protege fit on a P5? Is the rear suspension the same parts wise?

Yes. Most things are interchangeable.

 

[Protege5 Smoke]

Most are interchangeable, not all are the same (design-wise)

Depends what you mean by 'rear suspension'. Basic suspension parts should be the same (springs, shocks, rear lower trailing arm). But the P5 has 5 lugs and the protege has 4 lugs, so if your talking about the whole rear assembly then they are different.

Some Proteges have a 5-lug pattern as well:

All P5's have sport suspension. Regular Protgs may or may not have sport suspension.

I know the end links are a different length.

All P5's have 5 lug rear disk brakes,... some regular Proteges have 4 lug rear drum brakes.

Good to know, Im just replacing trailing arms. anyone ever done this?

You'll want to look for the "ES" trim of the sedan which has the 5 lug and whatnot. The Protege5 is a ES trim in hatchback/wagon form.
