That is the only failure of a strut that I have ever seen, except for a bent
strut that got that way from Curb Hunting.

Re: OT - Struts
How many times do I have to point out the actual question that asks how TIRE
WEAR can be related to struts. The single most likely cause of tire wear and
struts is that the strut looses it's shock absorber quality.

Bill, that's not a photo of a strut *failure*, it's a photo of a strut
*unbolted*. Did you miss all those holes that hold 17mm (usually)
bolts?
I've seen McPherson strut suspensions go through an awful lot,
including *spring perch collapse*, but no failure of the strut itself
has ever caused a steering loss that I've seen. The top bearing can
fail (although they usually just bind up and make steering very hard or
break up and clunk a lot) and a bottom ball joint can fail (which *can*
be serious), but the failure of the shock absorber or insert just
doesn't have the effect you imagine it does. You probably see dozens
of cars every day with 'shot struts'.
