With OEM struts and swift springs I could not put a finger between top of tire and fender, now I can put 4-fingers between, so were the old struts that shot,
did I tighten things up incorrectly, or is the spring installed wrong, after
installing top hat on the bench I could only get a few threads screwed on, after lowering car on the ground and driving a couple miles, I removed strut brace and was able to tighten the the nut on the top of the strut down more. Does not make any weird sounds when driving but something is not right, when re-attaching top mount in the wheel well (the bolt that goes thru the grove on the top swing arm piece) I had to pull down on it quite a bit to reach.
thank you any comments to help,
