ya but even KYB got some of the facts wrong Mcpherson strut suspension setups have been around since the mid 1960's BMW , Porsche , Alfa Romeo and a lot of other european companies were using it.
In fact Japanese car companies started using it around 1968 with the Toyota Corolla, Datsun 510(yes they were first built in 1968) The First Silvia and many more Datsuns and Toyota's in the beginning of the 70's not the mid 70's and they were all rear wheel drive cars the whole FWD did start in the mid 70's but McPherson struts were already very popular in use among european and Japanese car manufacturers.
