Actually i could be wrong aswell as miss-informed.
i think the specs that they have spent me are for the boxes.
http://www.autozone.com/suspension-st ... k-strut-front/734962_0_0/as per this website the tube is 1.5inch (38.1mm)
I am still doing research !

these specs of Gaberiel #G44754 (and aparently G44765 are the same but who nows) are no longer true
Gabriel has re-designed the shock to be 41.5mm due to the strut sitting in the VW GOLF MARK1 housing too loose.
I now this info is true because my friend about a year ago made a coilover kit using this shock and it was around 38.40mm
i bought this shock and it was too big (around 41.60mm aprox so 41.50 sounds right) so i sent it back..
