Are there any Boge or Sachs options? Those would be my first choices.
Though I have to confess I'm using two on the front of my Avant that simply say 'made in Germany' on them, they came with the car along with all new bump stops and gaiters etc. They look to be OE quality and the guy I purchased the car off said they were expensive, just hope their okay.1989 B3 2.0 3A 80 quattro...

Front struts got blasted. Wheel bearings came out with a bang.
After a final clean, two coats of my favourite primer.
I’m going to have to sort this oil cooler.

My VAG mechanic friend lent me this as the ABY tool doesn’t fit AAN.
He said he uses it mainly on the 5 pot Audi diesel fitted in boats! Apparently quite a few about.

Nice bearing extractor, I really should invest in one of those. I get old outer races out by cleaning them, then running a heavy ring of weld around the inside with a MIG, that causes them to contract and they simply fall out. It's fairly quick but does mean dealing with very hot things, best done outside.
Do you know what's the purpose of those lugs/plates on the underside of the spring plate? My V6 models don't have them, but look the same otherwise.1989 B3 2.0 3A 80 quattro... Budget 1.8T Project.

Yeah, those lugs baffle me as it's more unsprung weight, I really can't see what purpose they serve but they must be there for a reason.
The welder trick works a treat even with a really stubborn outer race, Jim showed me how to do it and I couldn't believe how easily they drop out, just be ready for a red hot ring of metal rolling around, best done on the floor.1989 B3 2.0 3A 80 quattro... Budget 1.8T Project.
