Are you saying th erod is up in the air past where it should be like it is bottoming out, kinda? If so I did the same thing and had the washer upside down or something it was 4 years ago...If you have a friend that has the same car then ask for him to come over to check out **** with the hood open. Or just go to majestichonda.com and look at the diaghram. I garuntee you have them backwards. Good luck and keep me posted I will try to think of the part I had to switch, maybe I had some of those washer parts (not sure what the name really is) backwards, double check and good luck

i put everything exactly the way it was on the stock parts... u think the bushings might be blown?, cuz they came out... are they supposed to come out without being pressed out?

I'm telling you just like said the post above the washers is what did it for me and I had like 5 guys there helping me. We were so confused untill I looked at a friends car and then realized we had the **** backwards. You'll think everything is OK but trust me just double check.

Maybe that's what my problem was I didn't use the dust covers. Now that you say it I think that was my problem. If you can't use the dust covers then try to find a way to get a fat washer or something tto replace where it goes and try that. Let me know the outcome. I'm almost for sure it was th edust covers with my problem glad you said that.

this is a diaghram of the strut etc. take a look at it and see what your missing.

And if anyone knows the part then point it out for this guy I know how he feels but I can't remember the piece and where it went.
