hi guys,
i'm in the process of installing bilstein inserts (PN 34-001134 / P36-0113) into my original boge (914-341-903-00 / 10391 32 0570) style struts. the bilstein inserts move right in w/o any problems, except, when I use the bilstein nut, it doesn't meet the flanch/top of boge strut. there is a gap of about 2.5mm. I have done some search on the forum here and found only 1 comments that confirmed it's OK like that and to use blue Loctite. there has to be more bilstein installations out there!?!? tried to double check on bilstein.com and their webpage sucks. 1) is the 2.5mm gap ok and do you guys use blue loctide. 2) what's the torque value for the bilstein nut, I found 80, 150 and 240Nm? 3) and where can I get that fricking bilstein ring-nut-tool to tight the nut? thanks in advance, dc and a few pics for your viewing pleasure:     |
