97, new springs
 
Installed new Skunk2 2" springs, Truhart struts, all new mounts and bushings. After a day of driving, the front struts do not sit centered in the mounts, they tilt to the inside. Everything is tight and new. I can hear the strut piston rod making contact with the mount. I also used SPC adjustable upper ball joints. Any ideas or suggestions?

So the springs are not sitting on the upper and lower spring perches properly? Take some pics so we know what you mean.

I'm puzzled. New urethane isolators, everything is new. Assembled everything and install went smooth. But after one day, the pic shows my problem.

New wheels coming in a couple of days. While I have it up and the wheels off I will see if I can spot anything inside the mount

I can't see your picture. Upload it to photobucket or another photo sharing site, and post the [IMG][/IMG] link.

hooo boy.
It's almost as if the top bolt weren't torqued all the way down, that's downright odd

New to me. Wonder if I was sent the wrong bushing kit or the bushing washer bent came down the shaft. Everything was/ is tight. I'll get a flashlight in there when I get it in the air

That was my other guess. The EX/LX and the V6 all have different spring rates from the DX, but I didn't think they had different shock bodies or bushings.
