[QUOTE="exdeath, post: 8539233, member: 56343"] Yes, the Hotchkis plate is now the upper mount. The alignment may be spot on but how about the position of the plates? How close is the strut shaft to the shock tower? If you can hear and feel it in the shock tower by barely pushing down on the fender, it's not your factory location inboard springs. The only way to check the struff is removing the Hotchkis plate so that you can move the strut shaft in and out by hand and feel how the strut behaves. Of course this involves having the car on jack stands and jacking up the control arm to remove the load from the plate while you remove it, and having a unsupported control arm on the jack with a live spring, so it's probably not something you want to do yourself if you aren't familiar with working with suspension components.
