Re: OT - Struts
Jeff, we are talking about struts here, as the subject indicates. Some
here, you by the sheer simplicity of calling it a shock, and Jerry, don't seem to understand the strut is the only thing the steering spindle pivots on. So as to avoid killing this poor guy, I speak.

Re: OT - Struts
We understand that completely, but is not part of the question.
The tires wear because the struts or the shocks are worn, allowing the tires to bounce in a harmonic pattern that results in cupping along the edges of the tires. I can't ever remember seeing a strut fall apart to the point that the suspension suffered a catastrophic failure of the type you are talking about. The strut has significant structural components to hold it together even if it fails to the point that the tires bounce and wear out unevenly. "L.W.

Re: OT - Struts
I've seen them fall apart, maybe as part of an incomplete accident
repair, but they hold the wheel on just the same as the Libby's ball joint: http://www.detnews.com/2003/autosins...tos-319372.htm God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ Jeff Strickland wrote: > > We understand that completely, but is not part of the question. > > The tires wear because the struts or the shocks are worn, allowing the tires > to bounce in a harmonic pattern that results in cupping along the edges of > the tires. > > I can't ever remember seeing a strut fall apart to the point that the > suspension suffered a catastrophic failure of the type you are talking > about.
