Message	I picked up a set used a few months back and am finally getting around to installing them. There is a lot of play between the GC strut sleeve and the strut itself (Tokicos). Just to check i put it on my stock strut (which has a wider body) and there is still a lot of slop. Is this normal?? Seems like all the weight of the car would just rest on the bottom of the thin aluminum sleeve (with enough space in between to crush/deform while driving). The PO had it on his car this way for quite a few miles, but i want to make sure he didn't install it wrong and was just lucky it didn't break! Also, i know the sleeve is upside down in the pic, but you get the idea. Current Z - 90 TT stage V - being rebuilt (Previous Z's - 92 TT stage I - 94 TT stage III)

Thanks for the advice. - Jayru 09:46:20 01/12/12 The hose is just to prevent rattling, just to clarify. - dogpile 10:27:40 01/12/12 Wrap the strut body with duct tape until its a tight fit (n/m) - Crim 11:04:15 01/12/12
