Steve,
I think that what is happening here is that the strut top bearing is worn/rusted and only has a limited range of movmement before it locks up.
When you twist the strut beyond this point the outer race of the bearing is turning in the rubber mounting and this alters the relative positions of the inner and outer races.
This is why your quiet zone moves about.
Sounds like you need a new strut top mount.
Colin.
