MacPhersonStrut

How common sense, familiarity with basic strut types, and careful observation can help you find the problem.

Discussing strut diagnosis can be a little like discussing religion. No two people agree on every issue, but they’re all sure they have access to absolute truth in the matter.

And while the road to steering salvation may be straight and narrow, there are some off-ramps. Some really questionable theories have been thrown around as gospel in the past. I know that for sure after reading a number of strut articles that actually contradict one another.

As usual, the burden of solving knotty strut problems will fall squarely on your shoulders. Your experience and common sense will usually go a lot farther than you think. Good observation and attention to detail will usually do more good than fancy engineering concepts.
