Couple weeks ago I installed pss9 suspension with new mounts and bearings. Today I noticed that the gap between the top of strut and the base is bigger and on the passenger side the gap is so big that it hit the hood, what could i have done wrong, or missed during the instalation.

Thanks Andrew

Did you replace the bushing (#5 below) along with the bearing (#6)?

 

Bushing and items 1, 4, 5, 6 were all new #2 I reused and #7 there was a different one in the pss9 setup.

 

Did get the strut seated all the way into the seat on #20 and tighten #4 before putting back up into the tower?

 

The bottom of strut was seated properly and everything was tightned to factory specs.

 

You need to disassemble that side again. It looks like something slipped, most likely the bushing.

 

look at mine from the following page. (mine suspension are still stock)

Could #5 in this diagram be the problem?

Thinking back to when I was seating the strut, I don't recall ever being able to push up far enough to make #2 extend that far. You are probably missing something inside the strut tower, or #5 is bad.
