Maybe I should put the strut bearing over the spring perch and then bolt all that to the strut??? That would explain the cupping of the top 'hat'. There is nothing between the hat and the strut bushing so I can just keep tightening until I run out of room to tighten. I think the HD have a little less thread on top too. Thanks! Do we have a consensus out there?
