Re: SVX Rear Strut - Dated 9/12/08 - 2008 looks like an SVX Part Stock-Up Year
Since you can't seem to spell my name correctly, do you need a keyboard for fat f@&ks from signing so many of your social security checks La$$? If so please mash the keyboard for 10 seconds. One will be sent to you from big brother since you rely on the gov't to feed, cloth and pay for your medical care anyways. It will be covered for a free loader like you!

It would be on the strut itself under the stamped part number if it was there.

These are the only two numbers on the strut, and there is no PN stamped on it. Just the top sticker with the PN and the 091203 below it.

The only things I find actually stamped in the metal on the struts are Subaru, Showa and Caution Do Not Heat, Do Not Open (still haven't tasted any crow ) Lee

Paid your retirement and spent lots of taxpayers money today. $4500 while on a ski lift is a record for me when I'm 100 mile work.

If this is the case, the strut was built in 2003, not 2008, and was received in 2008. Either way, that would show that the strut isn't all that old. I'll keep everyone posted on how well they last. - Odd that the "pack" date would be PRECISELY 5 years from the "Production" Date though. That's the delta of the sticker on the strut to the one on the packing. Same day/month, different year.

Honestly, this "debate" should have been over long ago. Come on guys. I mean, really.

Re: SVX Rear Strut - Dated 9/12/08 - 2008 looks like an SVX Part Stock-Up Year
So what was the verdict on this, are these OEM struts from 2003?
Geoff, do you happen to have a picture of the strut with the numbers on them like Ihopp77 posted? My struts are shot, I need to replace them in the spring, so this would be good news. |
