    LWB Bilstein front strut knuckle/assembly Left

    I was told in another thread this is a SWBpiece but apparently its LWB. Im looking to redo the suspension on my car, a 72. I have the SC rear already and the new front tie rods but everything else I'd like to redo. Thanks everyone! $750 cash obo buys it.

    The strut shown in your attachment is an early Bilstein casing and is from an early 1970's car which will be LWB.

    The insert has been removed and it looks as if the small steel ring which retains the wiper seal has been removed.

    The later Bilstein had a subtly different top cap and seal and the tube is slightly shorter but the current inserts will fit.
