What are you talking about? 88-91 Civic does not have struts. They are shocks.

Are you talking about the top hat on your shock or something?

Are the bolts torqued? I have never had issues with the top hats. Some pictures would help.

that top washer is not the right part either. i have no idea where that came from, it doesnt belong on the shock.

but im 100% certain you are missing #12. its under the top hat. it would not do this with it properly installed.

Congrats you know what an oem bump plate looks like.....but FYI when you get an aftermarket strut/stock from let's say autozone....you get one that looks like the one in his picture...he just has it in the wrong spot....so easy on the dumbass cool guy
