I have a lift kit installed, the 3 strut top nuts are tightened to spec. (Which isn't much on these cars, surprisingly)

I made sure that the bearing was aligned. By the looks of it, I may have not tightened up the top nut.

I checked lock to lock by moving the car out of the garage, just to make sure I had things tightened and tightened up while the car was on its own weight. It was the pothole test that I didn't do after the work. Parked it up and thought it'd be ready for use.

I will check the tightness of the top nuts tomorrow, Hopefully I can sneak the socket in through the top without having to drop the strut- AGAIN!
