So I got in the Proto Set from Mark at OEM today. Very happy with them at least 10x better than the original easystreet mounts. I have only ridden on them for around 5 miles but so far a DRASTIC change.
No "Bump" noises in the front anymore
Camber can be set now, Was constantly changing 5-10*
Much CLEANER, Looks nice!
Super Easy to Install!
This guide is BASIC, if you need help POST!
#1:
Remove the Old Mount! Plate, Rubber Washers and Metal Washers
#2:
Clean all Debris from the Nylon bearing, Bag Plate, and threads:
#3:
Using Axle Grease or Lithium grease Lube up the Nylon bearing and re-install it on top of the bagplate:
#4:
Now install the new mount adapter(also Lube the bottom of the adapter with Grease)
#5:
Now Slide the Pillowball over the strut and adapter:
#6:
Install the Strut Nut and Dress-Plastic, then left the assembly to the top of the strut tower and install 3 nuts:
#7:
Re-Install wheels, Lower car, Deflate bags, Tighten Strut nut and Mount nuts:
And here are my pics of the Mount, Dress Plastic, and Adapter Piece:
Hope this helps! I don't know torque specs sorry!

imagine that. OEM strikes again!
just amazing.
I'm tired of wasting my time... now I'm breakin' free.
Awesome work Mark! Thanks for continuing to support the community!
looks great, question is can you get some 3 shorter bolt studs on there?
Hell yes, these are a god-send for us.
I also noticed you've ditched the shaft lock nuts that come with the struts, good call, they destroy the strut's thread. I swear they're the wrong pitch. There should be a post regarding that subject alone.

Yes The lock nuts ripped apart my threads, I have several chunks missing. No idea how it did it, but i tossed them as soon as the happened. I just have to keep an eye on the regular nuts.
Need 3 more to get started our goal is 10!
Lets go!
