It's a conspiracy!  Something about the passenger side of Trackicks I guess. Could they really be so light that the weight of a driver alone is enough to keep them from topping out? Or are they (OME)    just getting crappier?   Cue the twilight zone music ........

Finally got my straps, and this job's Finished. Looks and works well. I'll have to wait till later to post a pic, the Kodak program is full of gremlins again. One thing, I was driving to a job site yesterday and was following a Trackick with just a driver in it. Sure enough, it had a bit of a lean to the drivers side. My guess is these things are just light enough, and the suspension just sensitive enough so the weight of the driver is enough to keep the strut from topping out on that side. This problem is amplified by any lifting of the suspension. Just a theory.
