Neither did I.
My comment was more about the assumed state of the tool. Like, "is this safe enough, given what I know about the people who have used it before me".

Rental crap is crap.
I've rented exactly four moving trucks from Uhaul. Two broke down. The first broke down right on Newbury Street in Back Bay Boston. I walked to the rental Depot in Roxbury and told em "your clutch cable gave out. Since you don't pick up the phone, your truck is likely in Boston Impound. Gimme my replacement. Have a nice day!!!".

OMFG, the Z is soooo nice on the freeway now.
I just got the struts as a temporary "get me through" measure ($50 a corner, as opposed to $500 a corner for OEM units) until my coilovers come back from being rebuilt, but holy shit, I might keep them on there for the Z convention now.

No, but non-failed, not 90,000 mile old, less than 25 year old struts are a welcome change.

Mr. Argumentor
I fab shitboxes and shitbox accessories.
This is why I like my vehicles. Both of em have enough suspension travel that I can unbolt the retainers and then jack them up till the springs just fall out

You're a Miata guy, right?
I can't imagine struts going that soon on something so light. On my 4000 pound land-barge 300ZX, sure.
Not a clue. Stock, my Z came with an adjustable valve setup, where there were two settings for the valve holes - big ("touring") and small ("sport"), adjusted with a switch in the center console, which drove linear actuators out on the strut heads, that turned keyed shafts inside the strut shaft and moved the valves to different areas on the shims.

I suppose mine are shocks, too.
But struts is an easier thing to visualize, because the springs are mounted to the shock body, even if the shock itself isn't the upper link in the suspension (though the geometry on the Z32's suspension is totally f'n wacky)
The Miata shutters and bounces to the side after every pothole.
I also live in PA, asphalt is good for 8 months at best here.
