Jared is pulling his struts apart to change them out, we got the top off and went to pull out the strut and this is what we found, I thought they all had inserts, this one did not have an insert, the strut is a strut with the seals against the outside of the strut if that makes any sense. Here are some pictures of what he has, can someone tell us if this is normal? So if we drain all the oil at the bottom we can just put in new inserts?

Based on 911 experience, yes. Just dump out the oil and install the inserts.
The stock Boge struts on my Carrera were like that and and I put Bilstein inserts in. Brian edit to clarify- The struts pictured do not use a cartridge or insert in stock form. The outer housing is part of the damper and the oil is the damping fluid. A lot of people do put oil between the new insert and strut to aid heat transfer. |
