Lancer---- Bent Struts ---- interchangeable?????? Need help ASAP
 

I have a 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer ES and I bent both of the struts... I called up a junk yard to see if they had any lancers and they do an 03 and 02.

Can I grab the struts from a later or earlier model? If so in what range?

Also,

Must it be a lancer or will a strut from a similar car work like a galant or a mirage or something????

Also any tips for removing a strut from a junked car???? What tools should I bring???
