The spring strut has a thread and a height-adjusting nut -2- for adjusting the ride height of the vehicle. The height adjustment nut -2- is secured against twisting by the lock nut -1- .

The height-adjusting nut -2- and lock nut -1- are not available as a spare part (supplied with replacement dampers).
