When I installed my plates, the bolt that connects to the end of the strut loosened up......

Everytime I hit a bump, it would bang and rattle......tightened it up, no problems.....

I have the Maximum Motorsports....they came with small cylinder-like washers to slip over the strut to reduce movement....did yours have something like that?

I believe when I installed mine it said to guesstamate the quantity of washers until all slack is removed then tighten down

Something has to be loose somewhere if it is rattling......it should be solid
