I'm looking for a left 911 Boge strut with 3.5" caliper bolt spacing & wedge pin for the ball joint (911-341-043-02).
As part of my 5-lug conversion, I went to install my freshly powder coated 911 Boge struts yesterday, and when attempting to slide in the Bilstein insert, I discovered that the left one is slightly bent - hence my search for a replacement. Btw, if anyone has a use for a slightly bent left Boge strut housing - let me know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). Thanks, Frank |

I know I have a left. I think it’s a 3 1/2. It’s in excellent condition. Can you post a picture of yours so I can make sure it matches up correctly. Thanks, mark
* I’ll be back at the shop in the morning. |

Thanks, mark Hi Mark, Thanks very much for your fast reply here. Oddly, there are many right Boge 3.5" struts on eBay, but no left (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The circled strut on the left in the photo below is the one I'm looking for (green lines highlighting bent steering arm). Note that I need the strut type that is internally threaded for the gland nut.  Thanks, Frank |

I found a pic that I took a while ago. Unfortunately, it’s the external threaded type.

Ask on pelican. Typically, the right side strut is much harder to find. Rob, the owner of DC Auto told me most 911’s get damaged on the right side. I once went down to his facility looking for right side Bilstein struts. He had two on the shelf and over 30 left sides. His facility closed earlier this year.

I may have more luck asking for a pair for folks who have them but don't want to split the set, and then just sell the right side. |
