Hello All -
I just replaced many major strut components in December and had bought FCPGroton spring seats/ strut mounts, etc. Well, the right front is now twisting with the steering (a little, not too bad). Is this a (somewhat) famed failed FCPGroton spring seat that a poster in March had written about (MadeinJapan, I believe you responded to this)? It kinda groans a little when the wheel is turned.

Now, could this be the strut mount instead of the spring seat? If it I did get a bad component, does anyone know if FCPGroton has improved their QC yet? I really don't feel like getting another part for free, only to have to take the strut assembly apart in four more months.

Thanks.
