Default cc plate question

i just put my cc plates on a today i had a couple questions about it first when i went to put strut back in place i jacked the a arm all the way up then i went to go to put the bolt on top of the strut and there wont enough threads sticking out so i could start the bolt.So then i lowered it back down and took the bump stop off and put one half that size on there then i had enough thread so i could start the bolt.When i put the car on the ground and drove it it sounded like somthing was loose every time i hit a bump plus it still looks like its towed in like it was before i put the plates on there has any of yall had this problem before

As far as looking towed in, you still need to take Ur car to get an alignment. The cc plates simply allow for the adjustment of Ur castercamber

I wouldn't drive the car around too much until you get it properly aligned and checked out to make sure everything is tight

if you have the MM c/c plates ignore the instructions about placing the spacers. i put all of the spacers but one thin one under the plate. if you try it another way the strut can make contact with the hood. this isn't always the case though. try different combos until you find the right one.

another thought is that you didn't tighten the top strut bolt enough.
