Front suspension
#1
Looking for help

Fitted new struts to my car yesterday however the rest cup seems to move when turning

Think it is number 2 on this pic

Any help

Thinking of just whipping the springs on my spare shocks/strut

Cheers

Did you replace the top mount bearing? Is the spring seated in its groove correctly?

Clunk when you turn normally indicates the spring isn't seated properly in either the top mount or strut.
