Hmm I changed out my 100K mile original struts for a pair of Gabriels, and I had to fight them to stay down enough so I could bolt them back on the spindle due to those damm spacers you get with the aftermarket struts. I had no problems putting the top bolts on, but I did re-use the stock upper mounts they were fine.
My car was on a lift, and I had the car supported from the front suspension, thus compressing the front springs. If you had the front hanging down, this would be a problem, and it would swing down abruptly and release the spring on your head. I have stock springs so maybe they compress easier?? Was you car ever hit?? that could make the strut tower mounts perhaps off??
