struts don't need to settle in? I've driven it for like 30 miles, and i went over speed bumps a couple dozen times.

I'm thinking i put the bushings in wrong..but i dont think so, the car drives perfect. There are more threads showing out the strut tower than there were with the stock strut, so maybe a bushing went in wrong?

Heres how i assembled it: 21mm nut on top, plate below that, bushing below the plate and 1 bushing on the verry bottom of the strut.
