many have damaged the adjuster ***** on QA1, Strange etc....true solution is to get rid of the single shear factory stud and weld tabs on that put the lower mounting bolt in a parallel position to the housing.

I welded my tabs on a few weeks back. seems the backside of the shock body still sits pretty close to the rear end. Just wondering how much it's going to rub when the pinion is moving up and down under accel/decel.
