Hard to see with the dust sleeve in place but think of a typical GM RWD front shock threaded upper. I can see where jamming that into the seal on compression would compromise the seal on end of tube.
John,
That is exactly the kind of issue that should be accounted for in the specific design. Mine that leaked had not been driven to full compression in the time I owned them. As most shock absorbers do like in a world where the suspension can be counted on to be fully extended at some point, the design for such a specific part should have accommodated that. KYB seems to have managed to do that.
