Hey centurion 53
What was the end conclusion of that ?
I got the same type of picture on my strut, there was a vibration turning on the left side or accelerating hard.
I noticed that my clamp block for the steering was worned out and there was a little bit of play on rudder....so I m planning on changing it plus changing seals on rudder.
I removed the prop and looks perfect, the shaft looks completely straight.
I noticed the shaft like yours according to the strut.
The plastic sleeves inside the cutlass bearing is worn out on that side on both bearings.
no resistance to turn the shaft and when I disconnected the shaft coupler from v-drive didn t moved so I m thinking alignment is right on too.
Could it just be related to worn strut bushing ???
any ideas?
