Greetings:

I've owned a 911 Targa since 1987........great car.

I'm going top replace the deck lid struts on a friend's 1988 930 Turbo Cab slantnose (9K miles). I already replaced the hood shocks.......45 minutes of knuckle abrasions. The 930's deck lid has the 2 struts.

My question is 3 of the 4 attachment points are secured with pins and clips. The rear passenger side attachment strut is secured with a bolt/nut. He is the original owner and doesn't recall the struts ever being replaced. Is this the original way the factory installed the struts???

Second question........any trick replacing those struts on the cramped 930 engine compartment??? Does one remove air cleaner/intercooler/etc???

Thank you in advance,
Mike

We have a 930 forum where guys more knowledgeable of the 930 reside.

On the 911there is a single shock with pin and clip on either end.

I suspect the bolt is there because someone dropped the pin into the engine compartment.

I added a second shock when I added the Carrera tail.
