    Default K3 lift strut attach thread

    I have light corrosion around the thread that stocks out the end of the lift strut on my kf3. Is this a removable thread or a threaded plug.

    Sounds the same,a female rod end on a male thread.iwould like to replace both.i only have a drawing in my assembly instructions which don't give details.An old thread in this forum leads me to believe it is replaceable,I may have the wrong end of the stick!

    The threaded rod is welded to the strut.

    Post a photo of the corrosion. Maybe just a little clean up is all that's needed.
