Loose washer on top of struts

Had a local mech put these 2018 bilstien front shocks on my 2010,

Little bit of a clunk sound, more so on the looser one ( drivers side ) and these washers are moving freely. What do I do to fix this problem? Aside from blowing smoke up the guys ass.

They put new strut mounts on too.

 

There is supposed to be a bushing in there.

 

That nut and washer holds the strut assembly together, the 3 little bolts around it hold the assembly to the frame. You need to tighten it, although i don't know the torque. Hopefully someone else can tell you.

Edit: he's probably right, I haven't seen a stock strut in a while

 

That's what it looks like, I don't see anymore thread to tighten it down.

 

There isn't. That nut is as far as it's going to go.

 

That's what it looks like to me. If I bought new strut mounts wouldnt bushings be part of that assembly?

 

i think what happened is that your supposed to reuse the old bushings because the front strut kit for the bilstein 4600 doesn't come with new upper stud bushings and washers, maybe he damaged or threw the old ones out

 

It's okay yall dont have a heart attack
I was on the bus & my bike few years ago
Just trying figure shit out. Thanks yall for helping.

 

Easy fix OP.

 

Figured it out
Just gotta get new bushings


Hey guys
If I really wanted to learn more about my truck ( 2010 DC 4x4 ) where should I go? Just surf these threads? I'm super new to shit and want to learn if anyone has any suggestions.

 

This is what it should look like, you are missing the rubber bushing.

 

Ask questions here and read.
Anything you want to know is on this site.

 

New top hats come with new upper bushings. Your mechanic is an idiot. I wouldn't trust him to fill the windshield washer bottle.

 

Oh shit this made me laugh so hard.

OP you will learn plenty surfing these threads. And YouTube is great if there is a specific repair or mod you’re trying to do.

 

OP you used 2018 shocks on a 2010 truck
