loos strut can't tighten
the center bolt of my front drivers side strut is very loose. When i try to tighten it the whole strut piston turns with it, so how the hell do i tighten it , i know i dont want to put anything around the piston cause that can groove it up and break my seal. So what the hell do i do. these struts are only 2 years old

Is the strut assembly still on the car? Because the strut mount on top has a flat spot on one side that keeps it straight. If somehow, it's all turning even though it's mounted on the car, then you can use something to clamp the strut, but do it towards the very top 6", because that part won't make it into the strut assembly anyways as the bump stop is about 6" long and will cover that part anyways.
