Yep exactly that. And the carrier starts to move about so it destroys it even further.
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 !!
Well I did finish the rally too, I just was mega slow on right-handers :-(
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
I think I will go coil-overs route if I can get enough money. New carrier I get from Tim Finch, just need to decide about new struts :-/ Cant afford Proflex and that kind, and I would lke to have something fully adjustable if I need to pay so much money so I don't like H&R which is very expensive and it generally just Bilstein insert in coilover body.
NUT RuS said good things about new kind of AVOs, and cossymad says he reccomends GAZ but can I be sure about those?
By the way - do you have some pics of your rear turrents? I am wondering how to make them stronger (any other suspention mounts I schould take care about?
