Ferrari 296 Front Left Suspension Assembly

Original Ferrari 296 front left suspension components, described as steering knuckle / axle assembly with front shock absorber, with the supplied references 343012 and 863696. The components are intended for compatible Ferrari 296 applications and are suitable for specialist workshops, collision repair, suspension repairs, and Ferrari owners looking for original replacement parts.

Ferrari parts catalogues confirm 863696 as a genuine front shock absorber for the Ferrari 296 with the factory lift system, specifically for 296 GTB and 296 GTS versions without Assetto Fiorano FIO2.

Ferrari 296 Front Shock Absorber 863696

The 863696 front shock absorber is specifically listed for the Ferrari 296 GTB and 296 GTS with the lift system. Ferrari’s parts catalogue notes that this version is not for Assetto Fiorano FIO2.

This distinction is important when matching the suspension to the vehicle’s original equipment.

Reference 343012

The supplied reference 343012 should be checked against the physical component and Ferrari documentation before purchase. Current indexed results associate 343012 with Ferrari front axle/suspension listings, including SF90 applications, rather than providing sufficient evidence to identify it specifically as a Ferrari 296 steering knuckle.

For that reason, customers should verify the complete part number, VIN, side, chassis configuration, and original component markings before ordering.

Original Ferrari Suspension Parts

Original Ferrari suspension components can be suitable replacements following accident damage, suspension impact, component wear, or restoration work.

For used parts, carefully inspect the photographs for bends, cracks, oil leakage, corrosion, damaged mounting points, worn bushings, impact marks, and previous repairs. The exact condition should be determined from the supplied product photographs.

Compatibility & Installation

The Ferrari 296 uses different front suspension configurations depending on equipment. The 863696 shock absorber is specifically for the lift-system configuration and not Assetto Fiorano FIO2.

Installation should be performed by a qualified Ferrari technician or specialist suspension workshop. After installation, the suspension geometry, lift system, and wheel alignment should be properly inspected and tested.

For accurate fitment confirmation, provide the Ferrari VIN, model year, 296 GTB or GTS specification, lift-system configuration, and original suspension part numbers before purchasing.
