I got a pair of front Boge struts from a '69 911. The kind with a M10x30 bolt that holds the lower joint. I ordered new bearings for them but the inner bearing wont go down all the way.....

This is as far as the bearing will go... and I'm kinda clueless as to whats wrong.

Axle

Bearing

There's not a huge difference but depending on how I measure I can get higher
readings on the axle, upwards of 31,85. Not sure if its the axle of I've gotten a low quality bearing from my supplier.
