The other chips in my original struts were all due to bracket contact, but seeing the exact same chip on two struts is odd. The coating looks weird on that area anyway when compared to the strut that doesn't have a chip there.

Also, I've noticed some surface rust on the nut/flange of the ball that's inserted into the socket.
Sorry to hear that you're not completely satisfied, man! Sent you a PM.
