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. |

Checked the BJ mounting hole and it looks real good, not beat out, round and only a few thousands difference between top and bottom of the bore. they are real clean struts, I think I'm good. QUOTE(MDG @ Jan 8 2013, 06:09 PM) QUOTE(Mark Henry @ Jan 8 2013, 03:31 PM) Thanks Eric, Now I have another question Boge struts and I have Bilstein shocks. I can't see the part number on the '74 struts on my teen, IIRC it had Boge shocks originally, but it has been 10 years since I put the old stock bilstein's in. They are the Bilstein's with the huge chrome shafts and though they had a different cap they fit in no problem. I have Bilstein's in Boge struts. I just bought the ones deisgned to fit those struts. I could be wrong but . . . the Bilsteins designed for the Boge strut fit in them. The ones not designed specifically for Boge won't fit. I think that's what I have as well.
