Nice! I did the front ones myself and also stripped one of the Allen keyholes on the top. But the strut was tight enough on the mount that I don’t need to fix it until disassemble time in the future. It was such a pain in the @$$ that I had my Indy shop do the rears along with the corner balance and alignment. Definitely a night and day difference. The original struts were completely shot.

I’m always surprised how tough some of these seemly simple projects can be. I hope to get on the track one day soon!
