So I just got it installed and after tightening the strut hat down (suspension not yet installed on car), when I press left and right at two of the corners from above the top hat, the hat has a very small play/wiggle. Is this normal or did I screw something up?

Also, right after installation I took it on a small test drive and while I was stopped, the first couple of steering lock to lock turns I did, near the end of both locks I can hear the spring making crunching noises, like what the springs would sound like when you try to turn the lock nut without holding the shaft.

After about 4-6 lock to locks, the springs did not make this crunching noise anymore, so I assume it was setting itself in, but hopefully that doesn't mean I twisted the shaft doing so? What do you guys think. What I thought would take me 1.5hrs took over 4hrs lol.
