1. Are the older struts, with the clamp on ball joint attachment worth using for track work?
2. I read that the newer style strut inserts had treads on the outside of the strut, not the inside like the old ones, you didn't mention that in your article.
Thanks,
Gordon

Thanks all.

I still think that upgrading to newer struts is in my future.
Any one have a set of '72 -'77 knoi struts laying around?
