    ahmeds are only 25mm so not an issue on a standard shock
    No they are not .

    They are -10mm front and -20mm rear on an Escort .

                            I've had this very problem in the past with a set of Koni's and it gave me 3 degree's of negative camber on the front

                            The cause of the kink as in Dougs pic above is the fact that the Koni's DO NOT sit in the carrier fully down to the shoulder on the strut, in fact it actually works out to 8mm too high. as if it does you cannot get the pinch bolt through so you end up having to pull the strut back up enough to get the bolt in.
                            This then means the strut is then sitting on the pich bolt and not on the shoulder and so reduces the area of location in the carrier thus making the strut easy to kink.

                            When I refitted mine after spotting this I elongated the pinchbolt hole up by 8mm to allow the bolt to go through with the strut fully down on the shoulder and this instantly brought the camber angle on the front back down to 1 degree.

                            Good advice, cheers mate
