914World.com _ 914World Garage _ OT 911 Strut identification
Posted by: Freezin 914 Sep 11 2022, 01:30 PM
I just acquired another pair of 911 Bilstein struts (3.5 in. Bolt spacing on Caliper.)
Bilstein PN 911 341 041 30.
All I come up with is a last numbers being 33 not 30. 
I have used all the manuals, internet sources I have. Does anyone know for sure what year these would be from? I want to buy new rotors, wheel bearings etc for rebuild.
Being I have 2 complete sets, will be selling the other set at some point. That set was identified as a 74’ in the 5lug classic thread. Strut #11700127363
Can post pictures if needed.

Rotors depend on what calipers you are using.
I'm pretty sure there is just one size bearing and seals for the 3 1/2" struts.

Ha! If I knew of a place throwing these things away, I would be dumpster diving! Who knows what else they might be throwing away!
Traded some parts for these, and purchased the other set.
Thank you for the information.

I'm no expert. I think they are SC, right? 20mm
Carrera calipers use 24mm rotors.

Both sets have hubs, rotors, calipers. I am just figuring that bearings, and rotors need to be replaced and calipers to be rebuilt.
