Qa1front strut where the rubber ?

[Bonehead70GeTeX]

Hi all , I’m rebuilding the front on my 70 gtx , my question is struts the QA1 strut looks nice but there’s no rubber washers shown in adds ? Do the qa1 bolt right to kmember without rubber ? If so looks like vibration ?maybe I’m wrong if so let me know

The dynamic strut bars bolt directly to the k member and LCA. I've yet to drive mine but I haven't seen a complaint about them.

Thanks for reply, the QA1 struts looks cool anodized, but the other brands pst and oem have rubber were it bolts to frame , I want her to look good but don’t want any rattles or vibration,, maybe I over thinking , I searched forums and haven’t read anything bout or trouble

Go to FABO and 72bluNblu has many discussions on them and how to set them up. I haven't used them but thinking about it. Tightens front suspension and is used with other upgrades.

The factory rubber is there so the bar can twist, this is done (supposedly better) with the heim joint on the QA1 and PST strut bars.

Looking at the pic of the PST bars, are those two pieces definitely rubber bushings? The washer under the nut doesn't look like it's bigger than the hole in the k member. If those round pieces are rubber, it looks like they might cause some front-to-back play in the strut rod. It might even pull out on a pothole. Maybe those pieces are metal too?
