On mine the gland packing nut only screwed in about halfway, and initially I was worried about this and tried and retried to get the thing to screw in all the way. Doesnt happen.

More than a couple of threads engaged and I torqued to the recommendation. But you still see a number of threads above the top of the strut housing. Heard this was normal from another install site and I've had no trouble in the 5K I've had them on.
