Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / November 2004944 rear bumper shocks
I was rearended in my '86 944NA Thursday. Very minor damage - pushed the bumper forward and folded the exhaust system. The Jetta that hit me will likely be totalled. A tribute to the 944 design, IMO. Although the bumper pushed forward as designed, there is only cosmetic damage. Can the bumper shock mounts be pulled back out or are they replacement items? Larry '86 944NA '87 944S yes, they just bolt to the body, make sure the body where they bolt into is not damaged. Porsche p/n 477 807 181 >I was rearended in my '86 944NA Thursday.

As Doug wrote, they just bolt to the body. The shock can be pried back out, but it's not recommended. You can find them on eBay for about $20 + shipping. I bought some for my '83. IIRC, the front and rear shocks are interchangeable, and the NA shocks are the same from '83-89.

Very minor work on the rear. Car that hit me looked like a HUGE bill. My body shop (Farraris, Porshes, BMers, etc.) fixed it in a couple of days. Don't skimp. Replace everything on the other guys dime. >I was rearended in my '86 944NA Thursday. Very minor damage - pushed the >bumper [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > '86 944NA > '87 944S |
