Default 951 to 944 NA strut fitment

Hi there,

Will a complete front strut assembly from a 87/88 turbo bolt up to a 87 944S?

Thanks!

If the 944S spindles are the same as the NA spindles, then they will not fit as the turbo struts are a hair more narrow than the non turbo struts. IE, they won't fit over the spindles.

But the entire strut assembly with the turbo spindles will fit.

The strut mount bolt/spacing on the struts and spindles is the same on 87>onward 944's and 86>onward 951's. In other words, the struts are interchangable for those years.

Back from the dead... just double checking here, but if I am reading this right, I can use struts (and I am assuming shocks as well) that are sold for an 88 944 turbo in an 88 NA with NA spindles. And actually, any 86+ turbo struts will work with stock 88 NA hardware?
