You'd think by the age of 16 you could put together a sentence that we could understand.

Exactly. The main washer, and there's nothing to keep it from pushing out through the top. You need to backtrack and make sure you re-install all of the washers/bolts.

When I installed my Teins I almost did the same thing . Thank God I had the hood up at the time, but that's exactly what happened. I forgot to put a washer on that kept the strut rod from coming up through the pillow mounts. Get that fixed a.s.a.p.
