Hello, I'm new to the forum and was wondering are the upper front strut mounts the same across the FE1, FE3 and FE5 suspensions?

Best place to find out is a parts outlet, either online or brick. But, I think they are the same. Just go to an online store and lie about what car you are looking for then compare part numbers, you got to be smarter than the keyboard.

Welcome to the site.

They are all the same as far as they can be swapped between the 3 and still physically bolt in place.

The difference is the strut valving and springs among the FE1, FE3, FE5. The bolt up patterns are all the same.

FE1 & FE3 seem to be identical.
