All aftermarket ones I've seen never have the height adjustable threads on them and I doubt you'll get genuine ones anymore

Andy, are you saying that this is the last of them and not able to get anymore?

As I'm unable to contact these people until I'm home

I would need to jack the front of the MY touring wagon up but I seem to recall its front struts had nuts on the top which I hoped would allow strut inserts to be fitted like I used to do in the 80's to Datsun front struts.
Is this what the nut on Subarus front struts is for or just for a strut internal rebuild.
Are strut inserts still available ?
