strut dissassembly again

[jcb]

One more dumb question. Will the new strut/shock come with a new gland nut???

I bought KYB and tockio's and they came with the gland nuts

Thanks again Blue. For a daily driver (city) do you think it's worth it to go coil overs or just replace the struts. I plan for my grandson to drive this car to school next year. Thanks for any thoughts on this. JB

It's not worth it. Just put in some good struts and drive it.

It's not worth going coil overs for a daily driver. Most if not all coil- overs mount solidly to the tower and will increase road noise-a lot. New struts will make for a nice ride and good handling

Make sure you check to see that the gland nut that is supplied with the struts threads in far enough to hold the strut in place with no movement, or you will develope a clunk in the suspension. You might need to use a spacer on top of the shock to make sure it the gland nut seats the shock!

Thanks for all the response. That's the way I was leaning but good to hear from others with first hand knowledge. Thanks to all.I am impressed with all who use this forum. JB
