Will the front struts from a 92 525i fit on my fatass 89 525i?

are we talking the whole strut?.........or just the insert?..........the whole strut assembly will, however the inserts are not interchangable. 6/90 is the cut-off

I thought so. I think its the insert we're talking about not the part with the spring + the strut housing.

If you have the entire strut including the strut bearing, it should bolt right in. If you have just the strut cartridge, you will need a new or newer strut bearing. Function is the same on both.
