When you take the shock out of the hub the shock will still firmly point at the hub it was removed from, as the std top mount has a cone that is pulled into the strut top. So when you adjust the camber or caster you are forcing it to sit in another position so the strut top is under pressure. This will wear the bush and bearings and crack the top cone which is quite common.

These Rose Jointed Top Mounts replace the std top mount but use the std bush without any drilling or mods. They allow full movement of the shock without it twisting the top mount when adjusting the camber and caster like on a std setup, but unlike the normal aftermarket solid top mounts which remove the bush and becomes a little harsh and will wear the shell.

After fitting them it's quite amazing how much proper movement is available.

They come supplied with spacers that will allow fitment to std or coilover shocks. At the moment we have dimensions of coilovers and Konis but I can accomodate other sizes if you can supply me dimensions needed.
