I replaced my struts, and used aftermarket (cheap) rubbers for the top (under piston nut), and it seems to be not tall enough. They are kind of floating by an inch. Since, the rubbers have deteriorated quickly, and i was going to buy new bushings (heard they are thicker, solving my problem)

Do i have to remove the struts all over again just to replace the top rubber bushing? (accessible on the top)

 

floating at the top?

you didnt install the bump stop plate properly.

 

yea floating at the top

 

yes, you screwed up the installation.

 

funny, it was fine for MONTHS, only now its floating like that. my friend had never done it before. Learn from your mistakes haha
