Suspension Strut Compatability
Hi all,
i replaced my front left strut in the summer with a used 4H0616039AD.
in December the front right went, so i ordered another used 4H0616039AD off eBay.
once fitted, i found it fell overnight, checked all joints, no leak, so leg itself at fault.
the seller has sent me a replacement, but once unboxed i realised the part number was unfamiliar.
4H0616039J
after looking on ETKA it appears this is a SPORTS version and isn't compatible with 1BK running gear but for 2MA running gear.
the seller insists it's fine to fit, but i'm not too certain, i don't want one corner of the car stiffer/adjusting at a different rate from the others.
physically, it appears to be identical.
what are your thoughts??
