These are Koni inserts 8641-1077, the struts are Koni 911 341 079 10 and there seems to be a mismatch as the inserts hang up before fully inserted. I did not try gently tapping in with a rubber mallet I figured they were supposed to drop right in?
The picture shows where the insert start to hang up. Thoughts? |

Glad I could help. It's always great when you can give someone info that actually helps them out! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
It's also good you saw the bit about the special gland nut. By default the inserts are packaged with a gland nut for the Boge strut (as this is the most common strut). So if you are using a Koni strut, you have to buy the Koni Strut specific gland nuts as the thread pattern, etc. is different between the Boge and Koni struts. |
