I posted this on Z31.com, but I know some of you don't frequent there any longer. Any help with making sure on these ?
I am trying to change the front struts on my 88 Turbo. Just found out that the new cartridges don't fit the housings. My theory is that at some point the fronts were changed at the dealership, and they converted to N/A struts / cartridges to save money over the adjustable. The housings are cast 54303 26P00 and the cartridges are marked 56105 26P00. The dealer can't find either number, but says they didn't sell just cartridges, but the entire assy., so that number wouldn't be good. There do appear to be paper PN stickers on the housings, but they are unreadable. The old strut cartridge is ~43mm, while my turbo replacement is ~46 in diameter. Can anyone confirm these housings before I try to exchange the cartridges ?
I have checked the fiche, and see that 56105 is the part code, but that's about all I can see.
Thanks.
