on my 88 740, I replaced the struts and on my 1st one i overtighten the tube nut (thought the flange was flush with tube opps + were pretty coroded to start with) anyway it seemed to snug up so I tried it, couldn't believe it didn't fly apart after putting the coil spring together, didn't reason out the total assembly, that's what was actually holding it all together was that nut! Got it all back together and soon ended up with a clunking sound from the fnt end it was the nut sripted out and clunking against the tube when hitting mild road variation ands pot holes couldn't make the noise by just bouncing the car. I am not usally that bad at repairs, it was only the 2nd time i messed with struts got new strut housing and rides great now!!!
Hope this might help
