Default MM caster camber plate help needed. Please..

For those of you using the MM c/c plates, how many spacers are you using for each strut? Specifically, how many spacers do you have on the bottom strut shaft below the plate and on top of the strut shaft above the plate. I realize eah application will be different so..

I am using tokico illumina's on my 2002 GT. I am getting a horrible thump noise when I hit a bump. for example, if i drive down a 1-2 inch ledge, it'll make a LOUD thump/knock type noise.


I dont know if the problem is my spacers or if the strut is loose, etc..I am just speculating.

PLEASE HELP!

Try bouncing the the front end of the car, more by lifting up on the fender then pushing down on it. If you hear the same noise then the strut is loose or not tightened.

You should be using all the spacers, the only difference is how much is below and above the cc plates.
