Does anyone have a source for weld in camber boxes that will work on a 914? Time to beef up the front end a tad I think.

as long as there's no or little load (up down movement), the shock shaft will pivot on the spherical bearing (like it's supposed to)
but under little or heavy load, the convex/concave surface will bind and eventually lock and that is where the pivot point will be then
from this point on, if the strut is sideloaded, the spherical bearing will still be sideloaded and since it is no longer a pivot point, it will just be mashed against it's retainer

the convex/concave surfaces will NOT slide over each other leaving the sph.bearing the pivot point. they will bind and lock
BAD design...
