Ian has the great video that might help you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCEl24tNEfo My old lower bushing is 20.5mm thick. If that helps. If you are missing the washer on top of the spring cup I could see how the bushing would quickly deform around the spring cup. It seems that on some of them the washer was welded to the cup, I could be wrong. |

QUOTE(914forme @ Aug 27 2020, 09:27 AM)  Nope that 4 MM does nothing for the spacing of the two rubber pieces. It just moves the shock shaft up 4mm in the collar #5. It is the part that supports #4 and #3. The issue becomes when you do not have enough threads on the shock shaft. Which is not being shown on the original image. #8 - bump stop is nice to be up top, but Koni / Bilstein is just a rubber sleeve. Just a generic part used across the entire line. Repaet you are dealing with only #4, and #5. Because #5 can only be shortened, you issue must be #4! Here is is on 914Rubber site. Picture added for example Hi 914forme, I'm going to replace the old Boges with Bilsteins so i've been doing a little research and found this thread from a couple months ago. Are you saying the Bump Stops aren't needed if the new shocks are Konis or Bilsteins? BTW, my old Bump Stops have disintegrated, that's why I'm asking. I was just about to source some, but if I don't need to............. |

Just did new Bilsteins on Matt Carey's 26k barn find.
Bump stops in the rear were in a pile of fragments at the bottom of the spring. Front bumps are in good shape. But no go on Bilsteins. |

Thanks Cary. Mine were Fragments also. Good to know I don't need to source any!
Once again thank you for your help. |
