Need Help Identifying Struts
Hi,
I am looking to buy some used 3" spacing struts but I want the late wedge-pin style ball joint bolts. The struts I am looking to buy are: Boge 1-0211-32-173-0 Porsche part # 911-341-080-02 I cannot find that Porsche part number. I am concerned that they are the early style and the PET only shows the later part number. The seller sent me these picts of the bottom of the struts. Can anyone identify early or late from the picts? ![]() |

I believe, from the photos, that those are wedge style; the pinch bolt style are split on the one side (90º) from the bolt hole so that the end is pinched tight. If they have the bolt pulled from the strut, that would be most telling; there is no head on the wedge bolt.

I can't see a nut in the old style parts diagram in the PET. Does the bolt screw in in the old style? I mean is one side of the hole in the strut threaded?
Thanks -Andrew |

No threads in the strut. Threads on the bolt and nut only.
