im not sure what inserts they are but i do know their different from eachother because the allen size in the center is different on both sides, i even tried to impact them down more and that is as far as they go. im stumped..

I know on my konis that they were not the jap spec threads and I gotten a insert bushing from T3 or soemthing. or vise versa.. I think I have more than 2 threads. The guy at T3 knoew what I was saying ,said Oh you have this.

 

as other say maybe get another set of insert but might still have same issue.

 

 

You sure. You might have more than 2 threads as I see a shank below the Hex and I know these are 1 pc.

i was kinda reading around and it looks like i should buy mr2 inserts is that sound right? i dont believe i have 280z struts because i bought regular 510 brake pads and they fit on the car but i do have adjustable coilovers on it.

Measure your struts. They may have been shortened for a different insert as that is a fairly common thing to do when going real low. If you see a spot where they were welded all the way around the tube, they are probably not stock length. You don't want to buy new inserts that are too long.

Here is a shot of one of a set of camber plates I bought off eBay. They where a generic type. I had to bring the inserts to a machine shop to have a small amount of the top part the shaft turned down so they would fit the camber plate better.

I'm not sure they are the same as the ones you have in the pic.
