    hey guys, well i have a pair of standard replacement shock inserts lying around and my stock ones are stuffed so i decided to change them.

    the shocks i have are KYB gas ones P/N 365015..

    upon taking out the gland nut and the stock strut internals, i put the kyb in and the STOCK gland nut doesnt fit? Its about 1/4 to half an inch away from the thread on the strrut. ie. the shock body is abit too long.

    any1 had this problem before? or should i be using another gland nut? i didnt get the gland nut when i got the shocks

    i put KYBs in yonks ago, they had their own gland nuts. i'd sell them to you, but then whoever had the shocks would run into the same problem, maybe try calling a few suspension places?

    unless you want to buy my old front and rear shocks lol

    AJPS stock a gland nut to suit.

    seeing KYB is what AJPS rolls with, you'd almost expect it.
    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
