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.

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 Sachs 170 553 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 Title: Re: Front Struts/ rear shocks 1978 131 Post by: wak131 on February 25, 2014, 08:29:13 PM http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Strut-Front-Sealed-Fiat-131-Brava-1979-82-NEW-KYB-/301084196485
Title: Re: Front Struts/ rear shocks 1978 131 Post by: Tas131 on March 03, 2014, 05:44:34 AM 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.
