The Datsun 1200 strut top is a rubber insulator for the the strut, and utilizes a bearing for easy rotation for the steering system. Most aftermarket adjustable strut tops do not include an insulator, so are not recommended for a street or off-road vehicle.

The stock tops are non-adjustable regarding Wheel alignment.

Adjustable

The Datsun Competition suspension manual recommends slotting the tower bolt holes for camber adjusability:

See main article: Camber


Aftermarket strut tops are adjustable in one or two dimensions.

Adjustable in one dimension (camber only):

Two dimension adjustable (camber + caster):

Adjustable strut tops are often available on eBay, or some buy them from TRD.

Comparison

Strut tops: B210 (left) vs B110 (right)
10021.jpg
The B110 strut tops are different from B210 & B310 tops. They latter have a higher profile and raise the car up, so use the B110 tops. If there is nothing poking up through the hole in the strut tower,then it's "wrong" for a 1200.

Covers

TIP: You can use rubber covers from an early 90's Mazda 323 w/ electric adjustable suspension. Thse covers sits perfectly over a 1200 strut tower, even with large 1200 strut tops or camber-adjustable strut tops.
