Ok so, i had a click from the front end of my car, i expected it to be the balljoints because their trash. come to find out the thing u screw in to retain the shock came off ( i did tighten the shift out of it before i installed it) and my newer koni shock has a hole rubbed in it and leaked all of its fluid. meanwhile the real killer is i cant rescrew the retainer back in because the threads on the tube thing are rubbed flat. My question is do i try to get the biggest tap ive ever seen or do i have to buy a whole new knuckle:( ?
The real killer is im moving to sacramento in two weeks and im driving the 914 down there! help! pm me if u got a drive side 911s koni strut/ knuckle thing ur willing to sell |

...or does it say BOGE??? Tony PS: Sorry that happened - that sucks! From what i remember it say koni heavy steering or something like that The stamped 'heavy turn' has an arrow that indicates the direction to turn the shaft to set the strut to a heavier 'feel' The other direction would be a 'softer' setting. I'm pretty sure your strut is a Koni brand replacement. It will accept Boge, Bilstein or Koni inserts. You did say that your insert was loose ...right ? Konis as original optional equipment on a 911 would have the Porsche symbol and a Porsche part number stamped in. 901 341 079 10 Attached image(s) |
