this looks like not enough threads poking through.. What do you think? I tightened the spring retention -looks like a valve- nut down tight. Is something not lined up right or what?

Did a little measuring today. The original factory shock, from top of the spring mount to the top of the threads, is 1/2" longer than the Koni shock. Also, the rubber donut here is Oem. I'm going to see if I can find a shorter 'lock nut' and
what do you think about shaving about 4-5mm off the top of the donut? P.s. Here are the shocks on the car when I bought it, and they look like original equipment, so I think the donut is factory. No reason (normally) for anyone to chanage this out. Attached image(s) |
