PT Cruiser vs. Neon K-frame

Post by oskarsbox » Sun Oct 05, 2014 2:59 pm

Hi,

The road salt here in Sweden has eaten up the K-frame on my Neon -00.

Does anyone know if a PT Cruiser -07 K-frame will fit my Neon -00?

Thanks
Oskar

I guess the older pt k frame should fit.
Not sure if the newer models have differences.

None of them will fit.

Unfortunately BRR's pics no longer work, but believe me, the PT crossmember will not fit a neon.

Only the front sway bar, and the lower control arms are simple bolt ons. The knuckles and brakes will also work, but you need to install it all as a whole. Basically the same as installing SRT-4 front brakes/knuckles onto a regular neon. It is a package deal.

Remember the PT platform was only (loosely) based on the PL platform, there are only a handful of parts that are actually compatible. And less that are exactly the same.
