On the OE front struts how do you tell whether they are the Boge or the Bilstine?
I seemed to recal that one used a coarse thread cap and the the other a fine thread, but not to sure about that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Is there a part # stamped somewhere? If so what are the part #'s? |

All the Boges say Boge on them. Porsche only lists one part number for the strut itself (well two actually) One for early and one for late. Normally you just tell by looking at the shock. All Bilstein front shocks for early 911 and 914 are upside down. Meaning that the fat part of the shock is UP and the small diatemer stem is down inside the strut (you knew that). The Bilstein takes a special tool to install the collar.
