You aperently just missed the thread that talked about this! Did you get your struts from a vendor or some auto parts store? Though more expensive, read countless messages on doors and other vital parts being damaged from generic parts. If you go to a store for a part, attention to detail is imparitive. Compare your replacing part to the part you are installing. Close the door SLOWLY and feel for binding. Nontheless, I would rather pay for peace of mind and trust a vendor.
