Chatting with a former 944 enthusiast (who is a little too old to play with them anymore) says he remembered receiving a service bulletin regarding the struts about two years after he had purchased his new 1984 944. He couldn't remember exactly what the details were, but he thinks there was some type of service or part replacement at the mounts. Does anyone remember this ancient bulletin relating to the struts?
