I agree with that. They are great for getting the LCA where it should be. That I'll use them for. I'm liking the turn buckle style over the Heim joint style myself. Keeps the rod more in the factory location.
Yeah but you keep the bushing, so you keep the caster changes. I see people making a big deal about the heim being further back, so the strut rod is shorter and so the arc it traces is smaller. Which would pull the LCA more at the extremes of suspension travel. But that ignores where the pivot point of the strut rod really is, it’s not at the front end of the strut rod, it’s between the original bushings. So the heims aren’t even an inch further back.
When I adjust the strut rods on my cars I cycle the suspension completely through its range of travel and adjust the length so there’s no binding. I haven’t had an issue setting them up so they don’t bind at all, which means that length change isn’t translating to a big enough change to cause any problems. The stock strut rod and bushing set up has had more bind on all of my cars.
