strut cartridge boot

[tanny]

The instructions for the KYB strut cartridge boots mention something about whether to put the plastic cinch clamp on the bottom of the boot or not(something about if the piston rod rotates with a bearing do clamp the boot with the tie, blah blah). I don't really understand the logic of their instructions. So, to make it simple, do you use the plastic cinch clamp on the base of all four boots of a 240z or what? Thanks, Victor.

I believe that you would not use the clamp on the front struts, but could use it on the rears.

I dont believe that the rod itself rotates, but I think the strut rotates around the rod which stays in a fixed position due to the way it mounts to the "isolator" that bolts to the chassis.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

That's what I was thinking, but the instructions were written so oddly that I wanted to be sure. Thanks, Victor.
