 the setup in the 4K series is similar.  Since the outer tie rod end is
 pressed into a flange on the strut housing, the whole housing turns when
 turning the car - am I correct in assuming that the strut cartridge should
 stay put during turning allowing the housing to turn around it, or should it
 turn along with the housing?

    No, the shaft rotates inside the strut tube, and the strut tube is 
tighetend down inside the strut housing.
