At the time of ordering this part the Amazon parts finder indicated that this strut would work on my 1996 Plymouth Neon. Upon receiving the strut I found that it only had three bolts and my 96 Neon required a strut with four bolts. I went back to Amazon to double check and there was now an indication it might not be compatible with the 1996 Neon as other users had reported a possible compatibility issue with this strut as well. I wandered over to the manufacturer's website and confirmed that this strut IS NOT compatible with the 1996 Plymouth Neon. I believe Amazon is now in the process of removing this strut from the 96 Plymouth Neon parts list.
Fortunately, I also own a 2003 Dodge Neon which uses the 3-bolt struts and this strut is compatible with it. The vehicle has about 125,000 miles so I figured it would soon be time to replace the struts anyway. The strut went on the 2003 Dodge Neon just fine.
I have ordered many automotive parts using Amazon's part finder in the past with great results and this was the first time I got burned. I got lucky owning a different vehicle that could use the part so I didn't have to pay a bunch of $$$ to ship it back. So I'm still giving it 5 full stars since it appears to be a good quality strut and the price was good.

Excellent struts. I put this in a '03 Dodge Neon with ~140k miles on it. Car rides better, feels smoother, firmed up the ride and were easy to install.
