Okay,
I am still learning, be gentle. I bought a nice used pair of green Bilstein strut inserts to replace my shot front struts. After taking out the exiting strut housing (4 stud), I realized the diameter of the Bilstein insert piston is larger than the old Boge(?) and I cannot resuse the threaded insert retention ring that screws into the strut housing. What can I do? Thanks Dale (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |
