Update:
Took my car in and, yes, you guessed it, the camber plate sheared off the top of the strut.
My mechanic and I determined that it has something to do with the polyurethane that GC is using in their bushing -- its too stiff. Basically you have your steel strut fighting the aircraft grade aluminum camber plate the whole time. Guess who wins? Spoke to GC and they are thinking the same thing. They sent a sample of the bushings back to Germany a few weeks ago.
In the mean time, GC has created a new spherical-bushing based camber plate for the F80 that they are sending to me to fix this as a replacement (for both plates). Also, they are buying me a new strut.
So, OP, to answer your original post: no, its not hardware incompatibility. Did you get the new camber plates like I'm getting? If not, you should ask for a replacement.
