It protrudes through the strut mount which appears to be just a bushing on my Trackers (and which also frequently seizes to the shaft requiring it to be replaced with the strut) and then is secured by the nut on the top. That was my point about the lower strut. It moves back and forth in a small arc (to turn as you stated). I should have stated that the lower part of the strut pivots with the spindle, but with the two bolts holding it to the spindle, it can't rotate 360.Hope I better stated my thoughts. Whether I go with Dave's (Bits4Vits) or have some machined locally, I do intend to replace them. That said, I am driving on BDS extenders which I do intend to replace before long.

I've been giving thought to that arguement and it appears to me IF the screw-on strut extenders are made of a quality material and made to correct specs, they should be as reliable as any extender. They require no mods to retain the strut tower brace and, as he indicated, are much easier to install with less hassles.There has been some concern voiced on the forum of the safety and durability of the screw-on extenders versus just using triangular spacers. Can't see the shaft itself moving independetly enough to unscrew the extenders. The strut body has two bolts holding it. The strut body moves up and down. They never come unscrewed (if torqued properly). Zte cell phones for saleThe second concern I had was they appeared to be made of a soft (cheap) steel. I took my second set to a friend's machine shop and he "cleaned" up the tolerance for me THEN they screwed right on (like they should have in the first place). The extenders have four times as much thread area as the OE nut holding the strut into the strut mount.My experience is the screw-on spacers I bought from BDS were NOT machined to correct tolerances = not made well, hence the problem I (and many others) had screwing them on the strut shaft. When the truck rebounds, the weight of the arm, tire and spring pressure ( not the truck) is on the threads of the extender. When the strut compressess the weight of the truck is on the machined shoulder of the strut extender. I think they are good to go. Validity and reliability psychologyThe only exception will be IF I ever bust for a set of OME struts.
