> Are 911T and 914/6 front struts the same thing?

I have a set of struts sold to me as 911T struts. But mrHyde pointed out to me that they are a 914/6 number.
So were Boge part # 914 341 091 struts used on 911T's?

I have everything for this conversion, but I'm going to have to buy new balljoints

No... Early balljoints aren't bad.

There have been instances where the bottom has ovaled out. I've "never" seen this first hand and, if installed properly would be pretty damn hard to do.

For some reason (an old article in Pano) they continue to get a bad rap.

To answer the question; they are the same but they don't have the same part number for some reason. Suspensions were installed as a complete units in 911s and 914s. I'm guessing the strut part number may have had something to do with the unit being loaded with 17mm torsion bars.
