Question,

I have strut housings from Boge with this part number on it

911-341-041-03 and 911-341-042-03

Im going to go out on a limb and say the 41 42 difference will be left and right

I am trying to buy bilstein inserts for these. Thats because i have Bilstein on the back of my car.
I talked to my Bilstein Vendor and he told me i could buy either

34-001141 Or 34-001127

From what he said the diffrence is the valving. Outside of that he can not tell me anything
Does anyone have any experience picking this stuff?

Thanks,

Colin

34-001141 is for a 85 and later Boge strut housing that utilized the female threaded gland nut.

34-001127 is for earlier 911 & 914 Boge struts that used a male threaded gland nut.

So, if your strut housings accept a female threaded gland nut, use 34-001141, if they accept a male gland nut, use 34-001127. IMHO, your vendor should know this.

Oh i agree they should know that but that not the draw i got.
Bruce and I (mostly Bruce) figured out i need the 41s.
