Hello again lads. About a year and a half, and maybe 12-15,000 mile ago, I purchased a "Non Turbo Struts, Spring Seats, and Strut Mount Suspension Kit" from FCP Groton. Now the front end sounds like its falling apart. Under the hood, the nuts on top of the strut assembly spin freely by hand, and the one the right has side to side play. Lots of banging and rattling and getting worse. Did something is the Groton strut kit go south? After one year?

Can anyone suggest what part has failed, or what needs repairing? My mechanic told me to bring it in for a look, but I don't want to waste his time if I get a clear answer here.

Is the car safe to drive in the meantime?

Thanks!
