As you know I am looking for a passenger 914-4 Bilstein strut. Mark E suggested I call DC Automotive. So I did. Well the seller on the other end of the line told me he had been doing it for 25 years and that he had never heard of such a thing. I assured him that I had two drivers sides and that they were real and they had a 3" brake caliper pattern. Seller was again polite but indicated I was nuts. I said thank you and went on.

I found it amusing. I hope that I am able to learn something new everyday. Still working on being a know it all after all these years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

914 341 091 34 914 341 092 34 Mine need to be stripped and repainted. The bearing surface on the spindle may be too far gone unless that is just light surface rust. You can get them chromed (not the pretty chrome) or use a Speedi-sleeve. A crank machine shop should be able to do this. |
