About this product
When ball joint axle strut performance matters, the LEMFÖRDER 23096 01 delivers — built to the same dimensional and material standards as the original part it replaces. The part is built to the following specification: Length [mm]: 155 mm, External Thread [mm]: M38x1, Rubber mm, Control/Trailing Arm Type: Bronze, Thread Type: Steel, Bore Diameter 1 [mm]: Fibreglass mm. Each dimension is checked against the OEM reference to ensure the component seats and functions correctly first time. This part supersedes original equipment references: 053 160 005 000, 5708 159 08, 86314340, 9990314. Matching these numbers confirms a like-for-like replacement with no loss of function.
