[QUOTE="hand-to-ball, post: 8538305, member: 74273"] It is making noise with the hood open, so it can't be a clearance issue. It is lowered with H&R race springs and the alignment is dialed in very close if not a match to, the stock spec. It was making this noise before my suspension setup (which was all stock) but not as pronounced. Could the strut be used to the stock ride height? Who knows. I can tighten the top strut nut about 3 turns or so before it won't really turn anymore (without a lot of effort). I should also mention that when I grab the plate by the shaft containing the center strut nut and wiggle side to side, I get NO noise - solid as a rock. It's only in the up and down where I get it. Something hitting the spring or the spring twisting against the perch? I know - there is no way to know without getting under there. Problem is, I don't know which to replace first, the Hotchkis piece with a Steeda piece, or the strut. So my upper strut mount IS my Hotchkis plate? I really need a lightbulb to go off in my head.
