I scored a set of 89 Carrea Boge struts to use my 914 inserts in.Pulled the 89 insert out looks like the valving set up used in motorcycle front forks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Anyway my 914 insert fits in ok just got to come up with centering rings for the insert , my question is do I fill with some kind of coolant , the Paragon article states either oil or antifrezze , or is this not neccesary for a sealed insert unit ??
Strut prt # 911.341.041/042.04 Do fill with fluid or not ?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Jaxdream |

Things like some of the 5 mile an hour bumper struts from the era used mineral oil to lube and prevent corrosion. I have taken a couple of these apart and they look pristine inside. Might work in this application too...

Things like some of the 5 mile an hour bumper struts from the era used mineral oil to lube and prevent corrosion. so thats why the negative term "fish oil" is used with cheap shocks, makes sense now. by no means do i know what i'm doing, but i've used hydrolic oil in koni's with good luck... seemed to make sense in my chaotic mind.
