Strut Install Q's

86GT · 05-12-2003, 11:04 AM

I recently got my Lakewood 70/30's installed. My question is about the top mounting nut/rubber bushing. How much play is supposed to be in it? Does the rubber really move quite a lot? I don't have the motor in right now, but when my friend or I stand on the K-member it seems that the rubber really moves. Is it normal or do I need to really torque down the nut?

I belive it is suppose to be torqued down so when the motor is in and the car is on a level surface, there is no gap.
