A strut having a longitudinal axis (x) defined therein, the strut comprising: a strut housing having a housing adjustment aperture and at least a partial axial bore defined therethrough; an adjustment sleeve slidably disposed within the axial bore of the strut housing, the adjustment sleeve comprising: first and second bores (107, 108) extending from a top surface towards a bottom surface of the adjustment sleeve; a first sleeve member having a proximal end, a distal end, and at least a partial axial bore extending from the distal end towards the proximal end; a second sleeve member adjoining the first sleeve member, wherein the second sleeve member comprises a body having an annular surface that is substantially proximal to the distal end of the first sleeve member, the second sleeve member having a beveled end that is slidably disposed within the axial bore of the first sleeve member; and a biasing mechanism positioned between the first sleeve member and the second sleeve member; a fastener that releasably couples the strut housing to the adjustment sleeve, wherein the fastener extends from the housing adjustment aperture to the first bore; and an adjustment mechanism comprising an element that passes through the second bore and comes in contact with the beveled end of the second sleeve member, wherein adjusting the element changes a vertical position of the element in relation to the adjustment sleeve and is thereby operable to control a longitudinal displacement of the beveled end that is in contact with the element and is slidably disposed within the axial bore of the first sleeve member, characterised in that the adjustment mechanism is positioned between the fastener and the biasing mechanism. a strut housing having a housing adjustment aperture and at least a partial axial bore defined therethrough; an adjustment sleeve slidably disposed within the axial bore of the strut housing, the adjustment sleeve comprising: first and second bores (107, 108) extending from a top surface towards a bottom surface of the adjustment sleeve; a first sleeve member having a proximal end, a distal end, and at least a partial axial bore extending from the distal end towards the proximal end; a second sleeve member adjoining the first sleeve member, wherein the second sleeve member comprises a body having an annular surface that is substantially proximal to the distal end of the first sleeve member, the second sleeve member having a beveled end that is slidably disposed within the axial bore of the first sleeve member; and a biasing mechanism positioned between the first sleeve member and the second sleeve member; a fastener that releasably couples the strut housing to the adjustment sleeve, wherein the fastener extends from the housing adjustment aperture to the first bore; and an adjustment mechanism comprising an element that passes through the second bore and comes in contact with the beveled end of the second sleeve member, wherein adjusting the element changes a vertical position of the element in relation to the adjustment sleeve and is thereby operable to control a longitudinal displacement of the beveled end that is in contact with the element and is slidably disposed within the axial bore of the first sleeve member, characterised in that the adjustment mechanism is positioned between the fastener and the biasing mechanism. first and second bores (107, 108) extending from a top surface towards a bottom surface of the adjustment sleeve; a first sleeve member having a proximal end, a distal end, and at least a partial axial bore extending from the distal end towards the proximal end; a second sleeve member adjoining the first sleeve member, wherein the second sleeve member comprises a body having an annular surface that is substantially proximal to the distal end of the first sleeve member, the second sleeve member having a beveled end that is slidably disposed within the axial bore of the first sleeve member; and a biasing mechanism positioned between the first sleeve member and the second sleeve member; a fastener that releasably couples the strut housing to the adjustment sleeve, wherein the fastener extends from the housing adjustment aperture to the first bore; and an adjustment mechanism comprising an element that passes through the second bore and comes in contact with the beveled end of the second sleeve member, wherein adjusting the element changes a vertical position of the element in relation to the adjustment sleeve and is thereby operable to control a longitudinal displacement of the beveled end that is in contact with the element and is slidably disposed within the axial bore of the first sleeve member, characterised in that the adjustment mechanism is positioned between the fastener and the biasing mechanism.
