Does the RRS conversion kit change chassis stress?
A. A. The strut mounting eliminates 100% of the stress exerted on the middle of the original Ford shock tower by the standard upper-arm, which operates as a lever on the original spring and shock absorber. As much as 50% less stress at the spring seat. The vehicle weight is primarily carried by the shock-tower spring location. When an RRS strut kit is bolted in place, the chassis is less stressed than original Ford suspension set-ups.
