Adjustable Strut Rods

Those are called spacers your arrows are pointing to that keep the washers at the correct distance apart. Slip the spacers out and and where are the sleeves? I don't see them. The spacer goes on the rod between the washers . The shear/wear sleeve would be against the Hole in the K-member with bushing material between the sleeve and the spacer. You really don't have a clue do you?

The picture I posted from another thread was a reference on how the bushing can be off the pin while still in place with the strut rod attached. not as something that I installed. Something you mentioned that holds the control arm from doing what is pictured

There were a couple of members here last night and your explanation of these bushings and how they work was brought up. They all said the same thing. You will never understand logic.

What holds the control arm on the pin? It cannot be the strut. That is common sense. It would have to be the torsion bar clip.

And what stops the K-member from shearing off the material between the edge of the k-member hole and the spacer between the washers. The one piece rubber on the early struts would wear through over time . That is why they upgraded them to two piece and added the steel,

The poly style material just without the sleeve shears off. The second picture of the bushings without the spacer slid through shows the steel is built into the bushing . The spacer is not slid through. If you want I can go get a spacer and slide one through so you can see the two at one time.

That picture you have the arrows on was a waist of your time. You show nothing on it but your ignorance. Look closely at the pictures of the used bushings. Do you see the steel molded into them. the Poly bushings do not have that . They shear off almost immediately.

An adjustable strut is a good item. But not when used in conjunction with lubed up poly struts. By your own explanation of what holds the arm in place would not be there. The arm has a swivel built on it. The arm could pivot off the pin. Are you blind?

Notice the steel molded in the bushingx below the poly bushings do not have.
