The problem is that the top of these is held down by 4 bolts going into aluminium.
If the threads pull on those 4 bolts, the base of the mount will still be attached to the car, but the strut will no longer be stopped from pushing upwards so that corner of the car will collapse, and the thrads in question are into aluminium, that isnt the case on the WRC ones.
