94-95 Ford Probe Question


HAOLE

Recommended Posts

In part of my business I do motor vehicle collision reconstruction. I am working on a case that involves a 1994 Ford Probe.

 

The 1994 Ford Probe had a fixed head restraint that could not be adjusted. This design is very poor because variability of driver height. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety began evaluating the design of seats in 1995. The testing used a dummy to look at the risk factors for whiplash injuries due to design. The 1995 Ford Probe received a poor rating for this design. So my question is, did the 1994 and 1995 use the same seats?

 

Thanks

I am almost positive that it depends on the option package of the vehicle. I think base/se/gt had different seats. But I could be completely wrong. There used to be a Probe forum as well but I cant remember what the name of it is.

 

IIHS for some reason does not say anything about different seats in the models. I would be willing to bet the frame design was the same, but the trim on the outside of the seat was different.

Maybe these will help. Less than 5 min with Google. BTW, the seats between the 94 and 95 appear to be very similar.

93-97 were all the same, some slight differences, some had a hole in the head rest some didnt (just for looks) and what they were covered with depended on trim level but yes, they are the same seats.

 

thank you
