Hi all,
I have an interesting dilemma. I am changing my suspension over to 5 lug, and my front struts are '69-'71 pinch bolt type Boge struts. I've had the struts and M calipers for a long time, and I've accumulated all the rebuild parts for my caliper, and front brakes( new rotors, wheel bearings, etc), but I still need to buy some shock inserts and ball joints. To be honest I didn't know about the difference in strut attachment and balljoints until I read some related posts on this and the bird forums. What I learned has given me some concern about the different methods to attach the strut to the ball joint. As part of my 5 lug swap, I am going to replace the ball joints anyways, so should I buy some early style pinch type ball joints, and use all the stuff I've accumulated,, or should I go searching for some different struts to go along with the new latemodel wedge pin type ball joints (that would give me peace of mind)? How expensive can > '72 Boge 911 struts be used? Thanks for reading,, -Rob |
