Tokico struts and MM c/c plates
 
When I installed my new front suspension, everything looked alright. But now I took my car around the block and the top of the struts are sticking out so far through the c/c plates that the bottom of the threads are two inches higher than the top of the c/c plates.

I'm afraid I did something wrong during the install..

Also note this was during the conversion from stock four cylinder suspension to Ford 'C' Springs, new Ford A-arms, 5.0 spindles, 5.0 sway-bar, energy bushings, offset steering rack bushings, and the Tokico struts and Maximum Motorsports C/C plates.


I need an alignment bad too, but that was expected.

Thanks in advance.

you need Spacers under the plats so that it will work right I have mm and Bilstein shock they came with spacers with mine any how. might be able to get some at the hardware store maybe..

Okay, that's not so bad then...Yeah, the plates did come with spacers then. 6 variable in height spacers in a bag... I had no idea what they were though, assumed they were for the actual plates.

Okay, great, thanks for the quick reply.

You should have gotten spacers with the MM CC plates. They were the littel barrel shaped pieces of aluminum. I think I used all the spacers underneath the cc plate.
