my rear tokiko struts do not have the nuts on teh top of the strut body like they are supposed to in order to replace the cartridges. i am out of ideas except the struts are shot... i cant find the rear clunk anywhere else. i don't want to downgrade to stock struts if i'm wrong. pics help!

Can you supply a pic, maybe there not tokicos
i'd have to go pull the wheel and all that. they are tokikos. the classic blue with the tokiko labeling. however, i read here with the search option that there are some older tokikos that do not have the removable inserts? i'll get a pic tomorrow. thanks for any info guys

I'm assuming this one has the insert. ?
well i got one strut out and realized after scraping away the grease, that they are the tokiko's that are changable. i'll have to order some inserts for all four soon. but in the meantime i put in my cheapo 40$ strut.... but it suddenly has some negative camber in the back. do the strut mounts have to be positioned a certain way? i looked at the dealer and it looked like that might be the case.... it looks like the three bolts are slightly offset.

The mounts only fit one way.

Where were you planning on getting these?
that was my next question. i hear that tokiko sells inserts, but i also have heard that people are slightly modifying the koni inserts to fit. can i still get these? i really hate to go from tokiko struts to some autozone beaters for the rest of the car's life.

I managed to install Koni inserts in the front tokico struts. I haven't attempted the rears yet. There is a thread about it out there.
