Front shock question
if you look at both pictures you'll see a small difference at the top of the shock.
Does anyone know why? is it a later model of shock or did they make changes during the years or ....???
I'm just curious
Confused

Front shock question
Its just another gland-nut..probably the shocks have been replaced sometime during its lifetime..koni's etc come with new glandnuts.

A wheel to steer the front of the car

Front shock question
The AE92 GTI front inserts came with different gland-nut than AE86 but the shape was the same (i.e. newer nuts were the same shape as older ones). Maybe yours is something fabricated ?
