Strut question

[boater76]

I have a 3/16 diameter strut. Does it matter what size flex cable that is installed or does the strut have to be model specific for the cable used? I was planning to use .150

if you use a .150 flex but the solid shaft end of that cable is 3/16 then it can be used, but if the solid end of the shaft is .150, then the strut will need to be .150

The most common FE cable sizes for 3/16" props are 0.130" and 0.150". The latter is 33% stronger than the former and is a good choice for 12 cells and above. No struts are ever bored for 0.150" shafts - they have to fit available props.....0.125", 0.188", or 0.250".

How many sleeve bearings are suppose to be in the strut etc? How do I know when they need to be replaced. Because I am not sure if the strut I have has any bearings in right now. If anything it almost looks like there is 1 on the side the prop would be.
