    Default Strut tops moving when turning?

    Hi,

    Changed one of my shocks today at the front, while car was jacked up when turning the wheel I noticed both strut tops the rubber bits leaning slightly when moving the wheel.

    Just wondering is this normal and if not what the cause of the problem is?

    Happens on the shock I just changed and on the other one that I haven't changed yet.

    Thanks.

    At my guess (only an uneducated guess) Either its ment to happen, the strut top bushes are stuffed or you've knocked something.

    Sounds like normal movement, Commodores (and BMW's) run really high level of front caster, so the strut leans over alot on turn.
