Hi everyone
i have a 2002 cavalier, recently i got my mechanic to install 2 kyb gr2 struts on the front, there was too much space between the strut and the strut mount once installed vs the oem strut causing a popping when the car was rocked, (a little over 1/4" of space) he made spacers with washers and everything appears tight, the problem i am having is when i go over small bumps i still hear a small amount of popping coming from what sounds like the top of the strut at the mount, could anyone tell me how i could remedy this? Or what this could be? thanks

he shouldn't have had to make spacers, most struts i see come with them when they are needed,, have a buddy jounce the front end of your car while you watch the center strut nut under the hood (or feel for play between the center nut and mount) ,, im thinking the spacers werent thick enough or there is play in the mounts themselves
