Strut Inserts (shock absorbers) for the front suspension: Datsun 1200 (B110) uses 45 mm diameter strut tubes. Most other Datsuns, including B210, use a larger 50.8 mm size. This article will help you choose custom fitment inserts for any strut you may be using.

Original Nissan Part Numbers
- Datsun 1200s did not come with strut insert cartridges, they had rebuildable strut absorbers.
- Nissan later offered strut inserts specifically for the 1200, they are still available as of May 2008.
Using a factory-quality Strut rebuild kit (rather than removing the factory strut parts and replacing with a new strut 'cartridge' insert) is the way to retain a smooth front-end ride. However, these are no longer manufactured.
Inserts
- Nissan 56105-H5025 about $50 each from Nissan
- T0KICO S1041 (oil), Z1041 (gas)

45mm OD Strut Inserts
Discussion: strut inserts
Stock
418 body length / 631 Extended / 462 Collapsed
- Stroke: 169mm (6.7 in)
Stock Nissan B110 inserts. See Strut
VW Golf/Rabbit
318 body length / 511 Extended / 352 Collapsed
324 / 511 / 359'
- Stroke: 158mm (6.25 in)
- Bilstein part number W0133-1604944
- Get Bilstein (1.507 in) or KYB brand at about 1.5 inch outside diameter. Tokico and KONI are too big around to fit 45mm strut housings.
discussion: VW Rabbit inserts
- Golf Mk I insert is nearly 4 inches shorter than stock and will need a simple spacer made to make up the difference in length in the bottom of the tube.
- Strut piston diameter is larger than B110, so drill out the strut-nut and the strut top hole.
Four different Rabbit Bilsteins available:
- OE style "Touring
- F4PNE3033BE / 171412031J USA Made With Internal Threads
- stiff "Sport"
- F4P300032M0 / 171412031J USA Made With Internal Threads
- softer "heavy duty"
- race: 270/100 for rebound/compression
Bilstein Race & Rallye (gas)
- Strut Part Number V36-0059 (but just buy the inserts)
- 270/100 damping
- Fits:
- 1974-1984 Golf/Rabbit
- 1977-1981 Volkswagen Scirocco I 4 cyl 8v
- 1980-1984 Volkswagen Jetta I 4 cyl 8v
