Thanks guys!

Thanks for all the responses. Years ago the airplane had a wing replacement, so I'm now thinking it may be at the strut.

There is no adjustment at the strut. You have the correct strut or you don't.

You have a B model and therefor you need any B model strut and perhaps even early 172s might be the usable. You wouldn't want an A model strut as it is shorter and you'd have no dihedral on that side.

There was an airplane at the 1996 170 Convention in Alabama (I forget whether it was an A or a B) that actually had a B-model strut on one side and an A-model strut on the other. I don’t know how it flew, but it sure looked odd.
