So I have just installed the Koni Yellows and install went smooth. But the nut on the rear strut was easily being able to be tightened. So much that the bushing is squished. Should I loosen it to where it would just be snug and bushing be normal width. Or is this correct? I’ve changed plenty of suspension components first car that the bushing squished down. And it’s all hand tighten too. So that’s the weird thing to me. Thanks.

Mine are a bit compressed. When I installed my Yellows I just tightened them to look similar to how the stockers were, then gave them a little extra turn..

You'll know if you didn't tighten them enough, you'll hear a nice metallic clunk in the back when you hit bumps.
