Was Putting new shocks in yesterday and noticed something odd. I've had a set of jap spec struts sitting in the garage for a couple of years that i'm using the brakes off. Any way i was looking at the strut tops and comparing them to the aus versions.
On my original struts the top of the strut is located at the front of the oval hole in the strut tower. But if i put the jap spec ones in it locates the strut top at the rear of this hole.
Why would these be different? And what differences would these locations give?
