Hey all!

Got this 1970 911T and the previous owner said the struts and shocks were replaced in 2015. However, they are all very badly worn out. I am getting new parts delivered, but was curious if these numbers on the struts/shocks could tell me if these are original or not...?

The front Konis have: 15-70 and 901-341-080-10

And the rear Konis have: 4006 and 80 2088

I have old invoices/receipts showing they were done, but they sure do look like the original parts!

Either way, very happy with the car. Just very curious to find out if these are old/new/original.

Thanks!

The rear Koni's are not original as the 4006 stamping indicates they were produced in week 40 of 2006.

The picture you have of the front is the strut housing correct? You'll need to pull the insert out to check the part number. My guess is that you'll find a 86-1638 if it was replaced at the same time as the rear.

I will get it all apart and check them out. That housing is, of course, from 1970. I'll get the insert out now!

Thanks for the info on the rears too! Appreciate getting half of the mystery solved!
