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...
