says that that part number has been superceded to a Koni 911s strut 76-77 911 (91134104110) A matching pair will certainly work.

Sounds like a 74 Boge strut. Good 914 strut.

I need to revive this old thread...

I have the same Boge strut from a complete 911 front end. However the left (911-341-079-14) is bent and must be replaced.

I'm trying to determine what a suitable replacement would be. The part number isn't listed in PET6 for some reason. Seems to jump from ...-079-00 to -30.

I understand that the ball joint types changed in the 70's some time.

Can anyone provide some insight to me on a part # that would be a suitable replacement as no one seems to have one of these anymore?

Update: I've been able to determine that part number 911-341-079-14 is only the strut tube with no spindle.

The complete strut assembly will fall under another part number NOT marked on the strut.

It's possible that the strut could be one of several. I'm unsure of the year range that the 911-341-079-14 strut tube was used on, but I can tell you it came on a 75 US 911 clip I bought.

I can also tell you that these are the part numbers below possible for a strut tube carrying the aforementioned part number...

911-341-043-01 Left with M caliper (3" caliper mount bolt hole spacing)
911-341-044-01 Right

911-341-043-02 Left with S caliper (3.5" caliper mount bolt hole spacing)
911-341-044-02 Right

PET says these came on cars from...
69 --> 77 for the M caliper type
69 --> 85 for the S caliper type

So at the end of the day, on a Boge strut measure your caliper mounting holes to determine what type you have.

Not sure if there are any veteran 911 guys in the forum to back up what I've found.

Have fun guys
