===Strut Top Type===

There are at least two strut top styles, which match two different shock shaft styles/diameters.  This strut top is possibly for a 20mm shock shaft, and has a flat to stop the shaft rotating against the retaining nut in the strut top itself - therefore the shock shaft rotates in the shock as the bottom half turns left to right:

This strut top is for a 14mm shock shaft, and the retaining nut tightens onto a bearing.  (The shock shaft is locked for tightening the retaining nut by a flat on a tab on a plate sitting on top of the upper spring platform.)  This strut top doesn't match the standard Bilstein shafts, therefore use the other style, or get Quadrant to tig on the correct shaft to match:
