    If you mean a McPherson strut, the answer is no. The long shiny rod must be perfectly straight and smooth to work as a shock absorber.

    Ok I was thinking the same thing. Thanks. I’m looking at the strut(Mcpherson) and it has a very slight bend to it from a crash. Such a waste of a good strut lol.
