914World.com _ 914World Garage _ FRt struts oil or gas

Posted by: Harpo Oct 29 2011, 06:28 PM

I purchased a pair of carrera frt struts as part of my 5 lug upgrade. I took them apart so I could get them powder coated and they were filled with oil. When I look on line for replacements they are all gas.

What am I missing here?

Thanks

David

Hydraulic (oil) shocks are getting rare these days. Gas shocks rarely fail, oil ones fail at about 60 k.
