Strut Housing Question

1988 325IX

So most of my threads on the front strut housing are gone to hold on that threaded ring that holds down the shock. I want to put in my Koni single adjustables but I wont have many threads on that ring. Anywhere between 3-4 threads What do I do?

you could cut the tops of the tubes off, and weld on the tubes from any E30 (except 84-85 cars).

I'd say get some used strut tubes, good luck man.

[madman23]

Thanks guys. That sounds like a good idea.

it's an ix.. even if he can find them, they'll cost a fortune.

[madman23]

no. Im just going to find used ones and cut off the top of it and weld it back onto mine.

Yea that should work just fine anyhow that part of the strut tube doesn't see a lot of stress. Good luck man.
