WTB: 240Z RHS Rear Strut Housing

[rollsy]

Hi guys,

Chasing a stock RHS Rear Strut Housing for my 240Z build. Unfortunately my current one is bent where the strut tubing meets the casting (not entirely sure how that happened, maybe one too many burnouts in the past... ). Hoping I can find locally in Australia, before I pull the plug and buy from USA. Located in Victoria, but am happy to pay for postage. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

May have been a crude way to deliberate alter camber. 
Usually the tube is removed and the housing bored oversized at a different angle and a sleeve then inserted.

It’s pretty tough (heavy gauge) tubing. I’d try straightening it with an oxy torch, but that’s me.

A burn-out wouldn't do that, as PeterAllen says they are pretty strong. But they will bend if they hit something hard enough, I suspect that the car has gone sideways into a kerb or something. Best have a very close look to see if anything else is out of whack.

Eyeball and measure the good LH side vs the bad RH side, including checking the top of the body shell strut and the rest of the suspension.

Thanks for the advice, will definitely check and compare both sides. Off the top of my head, the LHS was all in line and nicely tucked underneath the fender, whereas the RHS had some unintentional negative camber. Will double check though and compare. Cheers.
