Where should the collar be positioned on the struts?

The collar should be positioned at the base of the strut system to ensure optimal stability and support. This positioning allows the collar to effectively manage the loads and forces acting on the struts, distributing them evenly throughout the structure. A correctly placed collar minimizes the risk of any undue strain on the system, which can lead to mechanical failure or instability during operation.

Positioning the collar at the base provides a solid anchor point, enhancing the overall structural integrity of the system. Other positions, such as the middle, top, or above the attachment point, can create vulnerabilities that may lead to an imbalance or inadequate support, compromising the safety and functionality of the truck's strut system.
