Make sure they're 360 struts, not 340 ones ... 360 struts have the added bracket for the "stabilisers" or "link rods" or whatever they're called:

I heard it was just the glts? but i suppose i still have different ones to 340s

both my struts have that bracket i think, but in different directions of 90 degrees. The important thing is that one is longer than the other

All 360s have that bracket, all GLTs had shorter springs Some late 340s may have been equipped with 360-style struts (with bracket) but I wouldn't count on it.

so i could have a 360 strut on one side, and a glt one on the other side?

GLT's had bigger struts aswell

Well the insert, not the actual strut so all you need is the insert I think

The "shock insert"(absorber) goes inside the fixed "strut", then the "spring" is inserted over both into the top mount.

so by the strut insert your reffering to the body? with which the srping and shock are on?

Actually, Mebeez. The "strut insert" is like the "front shock" that "inserts" inside the front strut housing (front strut).
