Hi all
Just wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to what going on here please?
The front strut bushing dont look like they are under much compression and one strut is over an inch further wound forward than the other.
Are these adjustable? Is that what Im seeing here and hence the difference?
They are super tight and Im off in the morning to get a deep impact socket!

Yes, they are adjustable and are part of the alignment settings.  It appears you car has one side maxed out.  It might be worthwhile to have the car put on a rack to see what the alignment is like.  Prior to doing that, you could invest in new bushing and/or new aftermarket strut rods.

Here are some examples:
