Gotcha. Am I correct in understanding that the lock collar has provisions for set screws? If so, don't hesitate to tighten them. Again, if you don't go overboard, they won't damage the threads cut into the shock body.
Ugh, sorry, I meant to better explain but got distracted at work. THere are no lock screws on the lock collar, it just jams into the strut collar from the top. The threads don't stick out the bottom so I can't put a second collar there.
The strut collar has two threaded holes in the back, one of which is where the chrome tab is on the MM photo. Said holes are designed to hold the abs tab or brake line bracket or whatever. I am not using them and could possibly put set screws in there, but I worry about messing up the threads on the strut body.
Though I guess that wouldn't be much different than the lock screws on the spring adjusting collars (though my particular setup uses a second collar to jam)?
Thanks,
