Hi, Ive been looking over some images of solid strut mounts (For both front and rear struts). And Im trying to visualize whehter or not there is substantial motion (side to side) of the strut shaft in the strut mount during spring comression over bumps. I know in the stock strut munt there is a rubber piece in which the shaft passes through and the top bolt tightened, but does that provide a bit of play to prevent any cutting into the strut shaft? Or does it serve another use entirely.
If there is no substantial play, it should be possible to create a new mount with a higher mounting point so as to provide a bit more shick travel, ala the GC camber/caster plates, shouldnt it?
But if there is substantial play, Im guessing the mount would need a spherical balljoint/pillowball.
If anyone cares to contribute their two cents to this please do, it would most likely provide a more informed answer in any case.
