Adjustable strut rods.. angled?
Ordered stock type adjustable strut rods for my 72 base Vette.
They have an angle on them where the stock ones are straight.
Is this correct? There is no info packed with these things and I expected to simply bolt them in as stock.

The bushings are blown out of my stock rods. I was thinking replacing them with these adjustable ones. They seem to be the same price as the stock style. Are these an improvement overr the stock style?

So you think these are ok to install? I would hate to have a problem down the road..

Nope, just 'different'
I think that's the problem.

Check with manufacture , on the surface I don't see much difference between yours and the hiem joint from the stand point of freeing up the suspension.
