Anybody ever experienced any trouble with NEW strut top mounts not fitting?
Bought a pair of Q drive top mounts from Euro Car Parts. And the studs are just off from the holes in the turrets!
Anyone experienced this?

Also they are Q drive which is a waste of money, get them returned and replaced for Lemforder ones. PM Meatballs82 to get him to verify they sent you the correct part numbers.
Also you did turn them around as they only fit one way, if the angle of the strut leg is not correct they can be a PITA to line up on your own.

What's on the invoice and what's on the box, or in it, are completely different things. It wouldn't be the first time someone's grabbed the wrong thing from the shelf.yung-gun wrote:It says on the invoice. E24, E28, E30M0411

As already stated they are sh1t - cheap for a reason you'll be replacing them again soon if you fit them
Get them swapped for Lemforders.
