Bilstein internal bushing cut

[Rustam]

36 747A

No longer information in regards to the Sachs turbo word.

Thank you Jeff.

I thought by "turbo" you meant "turbogas", as in Boge Turbogas. I saw this number 36 747A and thought the "A"
designation in this number probably means its an Automatic as opposed to Turbo.

Checked the Boge catalog, Turbo struts are designated with "P" (36-676-P):

When I replaced the front Bilsteins I went with the Boge/Sachs turbos. To get the actual number I would have to dig through thousands of receipts. I just got this part number from a search and the number was not from me. The bumpstops number is me. I tried doing searches regarding turbo and came up with nothing. I imagine the standard Sachs/Boge are the same thing but not sure, not concentrating on this at the moment. Might check this after a trans job.

Good point! I will go out to the barn and look at the old receipts and see what is actually written down vs what is memory holed in this computer.

Edit: Can't locate the receipts... in a box somewhere. I'll keep looking.

Please don't worry about that too much Jeff. Thank you for the help.

The bump stop is on the bottom of the shock ??

yep... the shock is "inverted shock".
so it has to move up and down, and gets the yellow enclosure to make it possible, whose diameter is that of original normal shock absorber - meaning the actual Bilstein's shock absorber is thinner than regular Boge's...

On the top between the strut and the top strut housing. I don't have a picture of this yet.

EDIT: if your using the Bilsteins the bumpstop is internal to the strut. As pictured above with the cutting, is what I thought would fix the issue but didn't.

Ok. I didn't know.

I only found out last year myself, 9 years into having them...
