Thanks.

Many years ago when I had my workshop. Taxi's that had
hard bushes fitted in the strut rods
Used to get towed in with broken strut rods.
I'm talking when XF's were taxi's.

GLENN 70:
Just ask 69ish about that .  He has broken two in his 69 and that's why we think they broke .

Also be careful extending threads on strut rods.
Suspension components should have rolled threads not cut threads.
A cut thread on a strut rod with side deflection load is much weaker.

I rekon that's why they broke as well. The only people that would disagree
Are the people selling and installing them.
