Rear struts for 01 R/T
I am having trouble verifying which struts to but online for this car. I am getting conflicting info on rear bushing sets as well. Should I be looking for SRT suspension parts? Many of the sites don't distinguish the R/T's on figment.
R/Ts had Tokico struts (which should be the Tokico blues).

I'm assuming you're looking for strut rod bushings?

OK, So I ordered replacement strut assemblies and the bolt pattern on the top of the strut mount is different than the units on the car. The unit on the car has 3 bolts that come through the tower, the replacements have 2 bolts, plus 2 smaller ones that look like they would be installed from the top down, but there would only be one hole?
Does anyone know if there are right before i send them back?

Installed new struts yesterday...they apparently (aftermarket they) changes the top mount to be universal for both left or right side. The only strut assemblies or for that matter top rear strut mounts are now coming with the two inner studs as normal, but the third outer stud has been replaced with two threded inserts in which you put a 1 inch bolt coming down from the top.
There are two holes, one is used if the strut mount is on the right, and the other if you are using in on the left....
Be warned....what a hassle it is getting the third hole to line up....best bet that finally worked for me was to get the two studs in with the nuts treaded loosely, then get the bottom two bolts on the hub re-installed with the nuts treaded loosely, manipulate the entirre strut assembly around until you can jack it up and down and around until it lines up enough to get treaded.....be patient....THIS IS AN EASY CROSS THREAD SITUATION. Once the last bolt from the top is started, tighten it, then the stud nuts, then the hub nuts...
Now, go get an alignment!
