Default To which chassis range does the vehicle belong?

I'm ordering some control arms from alloemaudiparts.com, and after specifying my year and engine type, I got this question:

To which chassis range does the vehicle belong?
-V160 000
-007799
-185000

I dunno!

I have the VIN around here somewhere, if that helps.

Anyone?

Default

That's usually a reference to the trailing digits on the VIN.

Default My last 6 digits are not even close, though...

They're "...141437"

*confused*

Default Sounds like you're in the first grouping...

-V160 000

141437 is less than 160000, so that's probably what you're looking for. When in doubt, call the place and give them the VIN. They should be able to confirm for you.

Default V=1997

so yes I'd presume that the car is within that vin split.

Default I'm not so sure

as my VIN ends in TA317120, and the car left the plant on July 11, 1996. At the beginning of a year, the six-digit numbers start at zero again.
