Comments: To: Aaron Robinson <a.robinson.lists@GMAIL.COM>

I just installed my Bilstein HD last night.  It seems with that spacer
installed the lenght of the smaller diameter part of the shaft is the same
as the OE shock.  Without the spacer the threaded part of the shaft now is
longer and I cannot put that plastic cap over the lock nut.  What have
others done with that?  Just leave the cap off and goop the lock nut up
with grease to prevent corosion?


Thanks
