The strut isn't a good ground at all, in fact I don't even think it grounds at all. I did this once to ground my amplifier(it was a rear strut though), and it didn't work at all. Then I realized that the upper strut nut is almost completely isolated by the strut bearing, and the cartridge below is isolated by the oil and rubber seal inside it- ground it to a different spot! HTH,

The problem was it would start but would either stall immediately or not go far without "bucking" when i stepped on the gasI replaced the ground from the valve cover to the body and the negative battery cable at the same time. When i replaced the battery cable i didn't realize that it connected to the body then to the transmission, but after i replaced it and the ground the car ran great anyway. When it broke down at my high school while doing the same thing as before, i figured maybe it was because i had forgotten to ground the battery to the body or the ground i put in got loose so i went and got a cable and ran it from the battery to a nut where the strut is (was gonna be temporary) but the car still does the same thing with the better grounding. (that is a decent ground, right?) So, what the heck could be the problem? tia James
