Strut Tube Spacer - Demystify Please 700 89

posted by  someone claiming to be Eric Lehmer on  Thu Oct 5 10:20 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I'm coming around to doing front struts again, and want to make sure I get it right this time. I have an 89 744T that currently has Boge Gas Turbo's on the front. The strange thing is that the top cap on the strut cartidge tube has several threads showing. Is this cap supposted to screw all the way down? This got me wondering whether or not I had spacers at the bottom of the tube. I just replaced the lower ball joints, and could see the butt of the cartidge but no apparent spacer. Should the top of the cartidge be flush with the top of the tube, or at some depth? How big is this spacer, and did it come with the OEM strut, or is it a fix for aftermarket struts? Does anyone know which struts need this spacer?

Thanks,

Eric
