Does anyone with cabriolet have done the strut mounts? Last February I changed the front struts and the strut mounts with them, but no one told me that I SHOULDN'T put just any strut mounts.
So a few months later It start knoking and clicking on the passanger side only. Now they are so bad that I feel the car unstable when making some dynamic changes of directions.

Can anyone recommend me some strut mounts which will work?
I am thinking for 034 street density line. I know the track density dont fail but I don't want racecar feeling ...Strut Mount, Early Small Chassis Audi, Density Line, B2/B3/B4 Audi 80/90/Coupe Quattro, S2/RS2, UrQuattro, 4000, Coupe GT - 034-601-1001 - 034Motorsport | Performance Parts for Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen

Looks great, love that interior color. What steering wheel are you rocking?

Its the original steering wheel that was on the car. All of the Cabriolets model year 97 and 98 have it.
I recently bought a new steering wheel - Nardi, also original part and optional in the early models 92-93-94 in Europe

CRAZY RUSSIAN - It will be great to have manual ...soon soon

97-98 came with a 3 spoke, also the 96-97 A4 steering wheel can be swapped into a b4. but you will need the steering wheel covers from the 3 spoke cabs and a modification to the canceling ring will be required if your installing it into a b4, or just grab the colom switches from a cab

They just don't make cars like the cab anymore, it's all cookie cutter.
Such a nice example and looks sharp in white.
I'm a black or dark saddle brown leather but it does not look bad at all.

I have a little bit of progress on my car. I put the Nardi steering wheel that I wanted so much and ...I love it now. It was pretty easy to do. Just neede the plastic surround behing the steering wheel form B4 non airbag car (lots of them in Europe) in order to have the slip ring and the horn actually works . Also I put 3.3 ohm resistor on the airbag plug and not there is no airbag light

This Nardi was option for early cabriolets in Europe and I bought this from the Tradition shop in Germany..It has the audi serial number unlike new fake copies of Nardi made in "somewhere"
