Harold, do you think it's possible that the steel on the shock is 'too hard' to rethread? Or are they just pulling my leg? Another forum member a couple posts up said one of his PSS9 rear strut was re-threaded, and I'm sure they used the same materials on both PSS9s and PSS10s, no?
TIA

The damage could have happened during the install as well.
You can have a good welder add some material to the shaft then have a machine shop cut the thread for you.
