The car is a '92 Z28.

Last night I pulled the cut stock springs, and the Koni hydraulic struts and put 900lbs springs and the yellow Koni sport stuts in.

After swapping the RF strut out, I noticed that part of the mount that the top of the strut bolts to moved about 1/2" up as weight was applied to the RF wheel as I lowered the car back down.

I checked the LF which I had not swapped out, and noticed the same symptoms. I went ahead and swapped the LF out and saw the same things.

Is this sort of movement normal??

Thanks!

Did you replace the stock strut bushing? IIRC, there is a bushing up there and that could account for some movement I suspect.

No, I haven't changed the shock mounts out, as far as I know, they are the orig mounts with about 65k mi on 'em.

Thanks!
