I installed theses recently and finally noticed that the strut has poked a hole through my rear deck. I'm certain that I installed them properly but not sure why this is happening. Anyone had this happening or know a way to fix it?
The top washer (w/bushing under it) is supposed to be below the strut tower.
The shock absorber mounting washer and rubber bushing that's under it should not be able to be seen from inside the car, or they aren't serving their purpose. Those are what hold everything in place when everything compresses. The washer is supposed to sit up under the strut tower. I made this same mistake when I was installing my coilover sleeves onto my shocks.
