Due rusty appearance and color I think I have a matched pair.
One had the original Boge oil filled shock that used the strut body as part of the shock. Taken apart with no plans of using it. Other strut had what appears to be great condition Koni 82R 1943 Special D. So do I keep the Koni and try to find a mate for it? |

Ask around. Pelican, etc. if you don’t find a match, you can always buy a set. I think that around 50% if the time, the cars come in with asymmetric parts in some locations.
