I'm very sorry to resurrect this post, but how did you find those struts? Did you buy them new or find an old one in. Junkyard? I'm mostly done fixing the suspension and brakes on my '83 Brat and ended up stripping the post on my passenger front strut. After not being able to find a tap and die set to fix them, I might have to do what you did. I just wanna make sure I have all the info I need before I try to order from an auto parts store

The flat washer between the cone washer and the nut, is not flat. It is concave on one side, and convex on the other. Convex side needs to go to the cone washer, if it is backwards, the assembly will not tighten correctly, and the hub will strip. I never had an issue reusing the washers...

Sounds like a good goer. These were everywhere over here and now they’re hard to spot on the road these days, even seeing a Gen 2 is hard going, sedans even rarer. Good save in my book. Bust open the original TCU and see what’s up. It’s bin good as it stands so you’ve got nothing to loose I reckon. A set of rims and some lowered springs set these off Cheers Bennie
