Right on batman, but some questions are better than others!

... Is there a sleeve or bushing inserted on the shock mount or in the shock itself?

The stem for the struts seem to be just a little bit smaller than 1". This means the the strut would hang over into where the threads are just a tiny bit. Is this ok? Should I use some locktite to keep the nuts from vibrating off?
