how come the part the connects to the bar itself is loose. the black piece that sits on top of the strut tower and connects to the strut bar itself is loose even when fitted with the washers. i inserted the bolt, tightened the nut, with the washers inside and it's loose. anyone have this problem or is mine just completely f---ed?

 

I have the rear one on my accord, and it does absolutely nothing.

For the front one, I'm not sure...I went with the neuspeed one up front because I wanted it to be rigid (the neuspeed is only 1 piece)

I believe it should be tight (otherwise it's useless)...so there has to be something wrong somewhere...
