QUOTE(Eric_Shea @ Feb 10 2009, 07:13 PM)  You're going Koni to Koni so your pitch on those struts will be the same. Why would you need a new nut? I think the vast majority of the replacements struts sold are for Boge struts since those are the most common type. So I believe that when Koni packages up the inserts, they include a centering ring and nut that works with the Boge strut (or maybe you re-use the Boge nut, I am not sure). Regardless, if you are going to use the OEM Koni strut, then you need the special gland nut because the Koni strut nut is different than the Boge strut nut (different thread, etc.) You also can't reuse the nut that is on the OEM strut as it has the right threads but otherwise the wrong shape to hold the newer insert into place. The Koni application PDF list the gland nut and I think Roman has the right number in his earlier post. So in short, there is slightly more work/parts needed to put a Koni insert into a Koni strut.

Eric Shea;
Aren't you out of the business now? Rumor has it you no longer are around? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif) |
