    91 Strut tubes and my Decarbons?

    How to make them work together? (91 245) I know earlier housings will work but I want to make my housings work with the Decarbon's. The current strut housings do not allow the gland nut to engage threads on the housing. I may grind off some metal on the bottom of the insert? Thoughts?
