Porsche 928 rear shock absorber mounting bolt 1978-1995 | 92833164101
This new Porsche 928 shock absorber mounting bolt is used in the rear wheel suspension. The part forms the lower mounting of the rear shock absorber in the rear axle assembly.
The pivot pin is suitable for the Porsche 928 from model year 1978 up to and including 1995. The same version is used on various Porsche 928 models, including the 928, S, S2, S4, GT, and GTS.
Old mounting bolts can be heavily seized after decades. This can make disassembly of the rear shock absorber very difficult. The original bolt sometimes needs to be cut through or removed with a press during repair.
This new pivot pin is made according to original specifications and is galvanized for corrosion protection. The part comes with two new nuts.
