Hmmmm. The new nuts are the same part number, therefore they should not be handed, right?... unless I got two RHs.....
Anyway, I ran home over lunch to get the part number off of the struts and they are BOGEs. I gave the part number to my new parts supplier and he'll get me the write ones... hopefully. BTW... I suspect these nuts failed due to overexuberance on behalf of the operator. I think they tightened the crap out of them and they stretched. |

For those keeping score at home....
The 914 341 671 00 nuts I bought (made in Germany with a PORSCHE Quality control footnote on the wrapper) were the wrong size. I drilled them out and tapped them with a M16x1 tap and they now work beautifully. Now my car is finally sitting on it's own wheels, rather than jack stands. |
