[QUOTE="exdeath, post: 8535905, member: 56343"] If you have CC plates, that IS the strut mount. CC plates replace the stock rubber upper strut mount with a spherical bearing in the top most plate. The only thing the strut itself should be making contact with is that bearing, where it is held securely with metal spacers and the strut nut. The stock Bilsteins have internal bump stops, so there is absolutely nothing on the underside that the strut shaft should be touching; it's all carried in that bearing in the top most plate. I'd remove the CC plate, inspect the strut shaft by moving it in and out of the strut body and make sure it's ok, then inspect the CC plates (particularly the bearing) and carefully reinstall them, making sure to torque everything correctly. Usually a strut on it's way out will be leaking or have signs of oil. At the very least, put a torque wrench on all the nuts on the top of the plates. [/QUOTE]
