Quick Q: I ordered the KYB top plates, and just got them back from PepBoys who assembled them for me (so I didn’t have to use a spring compressor). However they didn’t use the rod adapter - said it wouldn’t fit. I pointed out the Bilstein instructions and that a TON of folks have put these shocks together, but he insisted there wasn’t enough thread with the rod adapter installed... could it be the KYB inner bushing is taller than factory, or the top plate overall is longer? I was gonna install the 6112s this week but now I’m concerned... if the rod adapter is missing is this a critical component or just a way to extend the washer/bushing high enough for threads?
