Mech Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Boought KYB 365060 front cartidges. When i tighten the nut that comes with the shock, the shock still has about a half of play in it. Why? I see nothing from the old shock that I could use, unless something was missing from the kyb box? This is an SHP strut, and I cut off the adjuster so the shock could go in . Is the strut body itself a little taller on SHP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Some of these inserts require spacers. Could just use some large washers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 I believe the SHP strut housings are a little taller than the non-SHP housings since they weren't designed to be replaced with a cartridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Non-shp has a small gap too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKB94 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 (edited) Think spec is .040 thread exposed on gland nut when tight. Best method is to find pipe that fits the nub on the bottom of the strut and make a spacer like they were when new. Maybe post pictures, don’t understand why no one ever post pictures. the struts on the left are missing the spacers that came with the Bilstein strut inserts, ones on the right have them on. Do you have those on? Either way that's what you need and how you would want to fix this issue. Machine shop might do this for you but not worth their time. Unless KYB are totally different, every cut a strut I have done has a nub on the bottom for spacers. Edited April 28 by BKB94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
