Title: Front Struts/ rear shocks 1978 131
Post by: 131mania on February 24, 2014, 01:45:30 AM
Hello everyone,
I am in the USA. I have a 2 door 1978 131. I am looking for part numbers for Koni, Boge, KYB, front struts. I am having a very hard time finding front struts for my car. I would rather replace with non original fiat struts.

Also if anyone knows parts numbers for good rear shocks. I would appreciate it.

Front Koni adjustables are discontinued so not avaliable to buy new anymore but you can still buy the rear koni adjustable shocks ;)

I was also looking for front KONIs without a success, ended up with just the rears. The front shocks are hard to find from any manufacturer nowadays seems to me, but they apear on ebay NOS.

Here are the numbers for your reference:
for REARS

KYB Premium         443 008
KYB EXCEL-G        343 017
KYB GAS-A-JUST  553 004
Monroe R11026

Fronts
Sachs 110 068
KYB 633 007
Monroe 11026

I got a set of yellow Koni struts off Ebay from the US about 6 years ago, I haven't found them new since. I recently bought a set of yellow Koni rears from summit racing in the US, they're the same as 124 coupe/spider fronts. They were on sale too, even with freight to OZ they were a good price. I've got a set of Boge struts I removed to fit the Konis, they've only done 3000kms, freight would be a killer though.
