Strut Replacement Shopping List - Am I missing anything?
Here is what I have in my cart currently:
Front Struts - Bilstein B4 98634304120 (x2) Rear Struts - Bilstein B4 98633305120 (x2) Front Strut Mounts - Lemforder 99734301801 (x2) Rear Strut Mounts - Porsche 98633305906 (x2) Dust Sleeve - Febi 99634350500 (x4) Front Strut Bearing - Porsche 996-343-515-05-M100 (x2) Coil Spring Pad - 996-343-511-00-OEM (x2) Bump Stop - 996-343-301-02-M260 (x4) Is there anything I don't need? Anything else I need? Are the rear strut mounts available OEM from anywhere? I can't seem to find them. Same with the front bearings. Thanks! |
The rear bump stops are a different part number than the front, it looks like you have 4 of the same part number in your list. I only ever found Porsche rear strut mounts for around $100 each unfortunately, but got Lemforder in the front for much less.
I replaced bump stops, front strut mounts (had visible cracks, but rear did not so I reused them) and struts when I did mine, but reused the rest. My front strut bearings were still smooth and when I gently opened them, they were still good, no dirt in them, so I gently closed them back.up. Might be a way to save a few bucks if you can reuse some stuff. Good luck with your project! |

On other cars I've had, the strut bearings can be repacked with grease. Probably the rear strut mounts don't have much wear, even in hi-mileage cars The bellows don't necessarily degrade. Neither do the coil spring pads. In other words, just do the struts. Autozone will loan you a really nice spring compressor. Rock auto dot com sells Bilstein struts, about $190 to $210 each. They sell B4's and B6's. Look up the Rock auto dot com discount code for 5% off, and they do charge for shipping. Cheers, mate. |
do the struts, front strut mounts, and the bumpstops.
rest should be fine, but no guarantees |
