On the rear shocks you have to either machine a groove into the shock housing, or buy shocks from someone like Rebel or Tarett that already have the groove. A snap ring fits inside the groove and the sleeve rests against it. There is a spring seat on the other end which is retained by the shock nut and the body of the car.
One the front there is also a spring seat that interfaces with the strut mount and is retained by the nut. The bottom end butts up against either a welded ring, or a sleeve that contacts the spindle assembly (Elephant no weld).
The fit is generally tight enough that the threaded sleeves don't spin when adjusted. If there is a gap between the sleeve and strut housing some companies use o-rings to fill the gap, you can also just use duct tape around the housing until the sleeve fits tight.
