    What parts from the stock strut (front) do I transfer over to the 5100? I know the top plate and above, but what about the rubber thing that the plate sits on? The 5! 00 has a small metal stop but stock is a rubber stop.

    That rubber thing is the isolator bushing you don't need it but it does cut down on noise. So put it on

    So I have the 5100 metal stop.. the rubber bushing, metal plate on top of that (seems to center the top plate), the big rubber, the top plate, rubber bushing, another metal small plate and the nut.

    Oops.. looks like there s another metal plate that goes first before the rubber one. Was stuck on stock shock so didn't think it came off.
