How do I tell what type of strut I have? I have a 74 2.0 liter. From what I've read, stock shocks were Boge and I would like to replace my original shocks with Bilstein. Can I use a Boge strut with a Bilstein insert?
Thanks in advance for the help. J. |

is your strut black?? then its boge.
unless your car was specifically ordered with bills or koni's, then it should have boge housings.... you can get koni/bilstein/and boge inserts for a boge strut |
