Question
Kurt1234
I removed original strut cartridges and did not find a rubber washer/bushing on the top of the housing from the old strut cartridges. The Bilsteins did not include new rubber for the top of the strut beating plate/under the nut.
The top of the shaft goes through the top of the strut tower and then a nut is screwed onto that shaft to secure the top. Been a long while since I installed struts on a professional basis (1980's) and the last set I installed was about 6 months ago on my 2006 Tacoma and they were Bilstein 5100 height adjustable. The Tacoma had rubber washers/bushings on the top of the shaft under the nut when I removed the factory struts. The Bilsteins that I installed also did not include new rubber bushings in the boxes.
Do these trucks use rubber bushings?
