i wonder if anyone on here is clued up when it comes to the different model numbers of saab front struts!
i recently had to have a bent strut replaced (pot hole damage

) the part fitted and supplied by my garage was:
4199 899. colour code:
red
i wasnt very happy having one brand new strut on one side and a 16 year old strut on the other so i got another new one off ebay, this one is part no:
4195 061 colour code:
purple though!
the advert for the latter stated that the part number
4195 061 was later superseded to
4199 899. i took this to mean that they are the exact same part and saab simply changed the numbers! am i right in this assumption? or have i made a bit of a c*ck up?
hopefully someone can help!! cheers.
btw. ive already tried googling part no.s and not really got anywhere!
