I have, at great effort on my part, removed all the threads on the passenger side strut. Can I get a nice rethreader (is that a word?) kit and fix it up or do I get to buy a new set of struts. These are Bilstein struts off a '77 911. I have been told that they are not rebuildable but one seems to have a wide collar and the other has a thin silver top.
Help! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Were is the xanax....... |

Bilstiens are certainly rebuildable.
If they are from a 77 911, look near the bottom of the strut, behind the stub axle, and you will see a roll pin. drive out this pin with a drift, and send the inserts back to Bilstien in Cali. They charge about $55/ per to refresh a strut the threads may be shot though, and you may need a new set of inserts |
