Porsche 928 rear shock absorber mounting bolt 1978-1995 | 92833164101
This new Porsche 928 shock absorber mounting bolt is used in the rear suspension. The part forms the lower mounting point for the rear shock absorber in the rear axle assembly.
The bearing pin is suitable for the Porsche 928 from model year 1978 through 1995. The same version is used on the various Porsche 928 models, including the 928, S, S2, S4, GT and GTS.
After decades, old mounting bolts can be severely rusted in place. As a result, removing the rear shock absorber can become very difficult. During repairs, the original bolt may sometimes need to be cut through or removed with a press.
This new bearing pin is manufactured to the original specifications and is galvanized for corrosion protection. The part is supplied with two new nuts.
