    Follow up question time.

    Does anyone have a stock SVO inner tie rod that they could measure the length of?

    The oil between the strut housing and the insert is just for heat conduction. It has no affect on damping, unless the strut insert gets hot.

    The strut to spindle bolts have a 21mm head.

    I'm shocked that they agreed to make one pair of springs for only $325. Assuming they follow all of the steps on their website, I don't see how they aren't losing money.

    The rotational angle of the steering wheel has no affect on anything, other than how it looks. The inner tie rod pivots need to be equal distance from the centerline of the car. Assuming that the...

    We recommend grinding down the OD of the bumpstop plate, rather than removing it. Cover the strut shaft in a thick layer of tape before doing this.

    The welds on the OD of the housing can be...

    Mike,

    That's a good point. I guess that the ball just embeds into the hole in the clevis and never moves. All of the motion is between the clevis and pin.
