I and at least several others encountered this same problem with the front strut while building 701's. In our case, the relative angle between the lower fitting on the landing gear and the upper attach point on the wing was wrong. These were on the one-piece struts where the entire strut was welded in a single piece, and right and left side were off by the same amount. Solution was to cut the top ends off the struts and top it with a sleeve (purchased from Zenith--in my humble opinion they should have provided it at no charge) that was free to rotate to the correct angle, then drill and bolt it in place. From what I understand, Zenith subsequently went back to providing 2-piece struts for the 701s to avoid this problem. Check the 701 archives for details. II'm surprised to hear they are back to one-piece in the 750, but if the problem is the same, the solution probably is too...
