My 98 came with tokico HPs all around (bought it used) I was cleaning out the trunk yesterday and I took out all the trim stuff in the trunk and noticed that on the shocks the rubber donuts were not flat on both sides,but round on the top and flat on the bottom.Question, is that the way they were supposed to be installed? Also I found small black bags of sound deadening material down in the quarter panels,at least I THINK it's sound deadening stuff.

Do you have the correct size crows foot and a torque wrench to check to see if the nut on the top is torqued to spec ? Also, you can just try to tighten it and see if it tightens easily. I usually tighten down that nut fairly tight. I squash the metal washer down into the rubber bushing so that it is reasonably tight.

As for the black baggy.... double check to make sure its not black tar haroine =P

The black baggies are factory. I have seen those in many Mustangs I have taken apart.
