Default Upper Strut Mount from steeda

Anyone ever install the Heavy Duty Upper Strut Mount from Steeda?? seem to be having a problem......Will that second plate on the kit pull up when I put it in the strut tower?? working on it now looks like a 2 day job.......real late start today had to shovel heavy wet snow lol

Kept working on it...........after I released pressure on the spring compressor everything slid into place. Studs on new heavy duty mount fit perfectly into strut tower. Also Steeda has points on plate they are located in the two extra holes you move them around to center the middle bolt on strut assembly once it's centered you tighten your 4 nuts............after putting your lower bolts and other parts back together. the passengers side is going to be a piece of cake. Drivers side learning curve.

Do you have pics of the strut put together? I was wanting to see how they looked before installing them.

Thanks

If he takes a pic from the top you won't be able to see anything, but the strut tower itself as if it was stock. A picture has/had to be taken when the strut assembly was out for everything to be seem. Also, for those who got these mounts because they have a lowered vehicle the points the OP is talking about are not supposed to be centered, they are supposed to be moved outward towards the fenders to get rid of the negative camber (that's of course if you want to do it). If you're lowered 1.5 inch you should probably move them as far towards the fenders as you can.

Olvanish As for me I was wondering because from the steeda pics and instruction shown there is a steeda logo on each strut mount. I didnt know if this one plate was going to be for support from the engine bay side, you know where you could see logo.
They said this helps take the popping sound out on lowered vehicles.
