    Hello,
    Does anyone know if you can add some adjustment to rear struts that have a little age on them? The struts seem to still have good shock absorbance but they are wearing out the insides of the tires due to the tire leaning in at the top. Thanks for any help you can offer.
    Sincerely,
    Fuzzydog1

    The struts don't control the height if the car. The springs are worn, so the rear saggs. Some struts are slotable by elongating the upper mounting hole.

    Which way would you elongate the holes? Side to side or up and down?

    side to side, generally to the side towards the car not towards the wheel.
