412 front shocks

Post by richtbiscuits » 12th April 2019 - 12:09am

During recent investigations into the source of a petrol aroma I had cause to look under the front of the car and noticed a very damp nearside shock absorber, damp all the way from the top, so I'm guessing the shock seal has given up. I have some old Boge shocks labelled as being for a 411 with part number 32-043-5 on the box but 32-034-0 stamped on the shocks themselves. Can anyone tell me if these shocks will fit before I go stripping the suspension apart? Thank you.

Excellent. You are clearly a lot better at Google than me! Thanks.
