Sorry to show my ignorance, but what are you referring to by "turn it down
from the end before parting off"?

if anyone else has a 93 suburban, you will find that the gas springs to
lift the rear glass are now unavailable. If you get Monroe Max Lift
901359, shorten the shaft by 4.5 inches and tap to 1/4X28 and reuse the
plastic ends from your old ones, all is good again. Since the shaft is
hardened, you will need to turn it down from the end before parting off.
Hold shaft in collet or 6 jaw chuck so you don't mar it.

There, on topic, no politics, and helpful.
