A friend and I installed eibach prokits and tokico struts together. we did the front suspension first and completed the rear today, but i can tell from driving it home that something is really wrong.
The top of the strut shaft is poking out of the suspension tower, and moving up and down according to bumps in the road. The nut on the top of the strut assembly can't be tightened down due to the strut assembly being so tall and poking out. So basically, the struts which are supposed to dampen do not work, and the car just bounces on the springs.
My friends theory is that either the struts are too long or the springs are too short. is that a possibility?
My theory is that we did something wrong, but we did the fronts just fine and if we did something wrong then we did it to both rear struts.
sorry if this is a bit jumbled, its kinda late and im tired and frustrated.
Can anyone offer a suggestion as to what is wrong?
