Nothing special other than that?

Can I inspect the top hats while they are on the car? I looked at them for a while when I had it on a lift doing my header swap, but not really sure what I'm looking at...
Yup, nothing special other than that.

You can inspect the strut nut for looseness but you’ll need a pass through socket set. Do you have one of those? Put that pass through socket (17mm) on the nut and then put an Allen wrench through the opening on the socket to keep the strut from spinning.

It’s nice to have a pass through socket set on this car. You can use them on the endlinks, camber bolts etc. where the threaded rod sticks well past the nut.
