#224, "RE: problem with new shock and spring install" In response to In response to 0
Good points by John...
If I may supplement, something else to note. I remember when I did the install, I had to really tighten the top strut bolt in the rear struts particularly like a mofo just so I could elminate any play within the strut between the bumpstops, springs, and everything in-between. Once I achieved a "good fit" without any play, I was happy. But that nut up top of the strut was a lock-nut style if I remember correctly and took some persuasion to torque down.
I can certainly imagine a situation where they didn't tighten that bolt "enough", and there may very well be some play back there within the strut.
