so im not alone in this huh? I tried tightening it too and that didnt work. Hell I even had my dad try to tighten it down some more and he ended up stripping the top of the strut off. It still does it to this day, some of the guys told me that it was probably just a bushing gone bad and not to worry about it. I would try to tighten the locking nut on the top of the strut to see if that fixes it. If not, then its probably a problem like mine and a bushing is gone
