There is no strut plate.

Chances are that you will have to drop the sub-frame to get to the rear upper arms. I haven't replaced those yet. That's an after Christmas project.

Rusty,

Thanks, man. I appreciate the replies and info. When I get all of this together I'll post the rebuild.

I thought for sure there was an upper strut plate with the studs that go through the strut tower? Am I getting the nomenclature wrong?

What you are seeing, is the upper mounting bracket for the coilover.
