Yea. It rides rough. Havent gotten it aligned yet, and my bushing that go below the top-plate is on top...we couldnt get the coils compressed enough to fit the bushings underneath the top-plate. I think I'm going to take it to a body shop to fix the bushing and get it aligned. Will the alignment help with the ride quality? Rears feel great...front feels like the strut towers are made of asphalt. Would alignment help?

That would explian it! It's totally worth the $30 bucks just to let someone with a good compressor to do it. I was wondering why you couldn't get the top nut tightend without the space in there? It's still not going to matter if you get an alignment as far as ride quality, only if it pulls. It's bouncy and stiff! I can't even think what it would be like with the Bilsteins in there. I've had my Trekmasters/Tundras on for about 5 days so I think any settling is over and it's getting alligned on Monday.

Yea...I was thinking that was it. The rubber bushing compacts with the weight of the vehicle over bumps, cause the strut tower to move. Its like a slight banging feel/niose over bumps. This is it yes?>
