fromt he pics it looks liek the thrust bearing (the three piece one) is what transfers the load directly from the spring hat to the camberplate..
ideally, you don't want the spherical bearing taking any axial load except the shock....


So, are you saying that the T3 design doesn't transfer additional axial load to the spoherical bearig, and is good, or...?



i say it's good..compared to others (i think the Cusco ones?) which have NO bearing, and are ONLY metal on metal.. these are much much better..
if i was to design a camber top, it would look pretty much like this.

i guess it comes down to how much an angle are you trying to run? ie the angle between the plan on which the strut top will be installed, and the desired angle of the strut... if it is only a couple of degrees.. don't worry, if not.. meh..

you could always get a self-aligning base for the thrust bearing i suppose... or use a rubber washer Wink

i guess the point is tho, that the spring top hat does not change angle as much as the strut itself, as long as the hole in the sprign hat is a little bigger than the shock rod.. only a few mm will allow quite a large movement..

i suggest installing it all without a spring, and see just how it sits..

stock, the spring top hat is often clamped onto the shock rod, but iirc, this design has the top hat free floating on the shock rod, so it should al be foine....

ps, nice design Gab Wink
