i think i know what you mean m8, the strut actually sort of bends on the bit thats sat in the hub carrier ? so when you remove teh strut , the lower part in kinked at teh inner part at the bottom does that make sence ?

i did it with a bilstein coil over when i hit a large obstruction with my n/s wheel , gave me mega camber !! , just roataed the strut and adjusted the bottom arms and finished the rally !!

but then i moved from the 2wd 46mm struts to what you have the 50mm bodies , never had any probs since even in the forrest, i think you need decent bodies not roadgoing stuff m8
