I don't know about coilovers like that but these are tein ss...(red arrow) is loose..it moves by hand... The blacc stuff around it must be from the bushings fro all the free play..Probably don't make sense but if its a bad issue,,it will give me a better reason to get bags

you might have to send your tiens in for repairs.. unless somebody knows a solution.. have you taken it out to see what's causing it from below instead of looking at the problem from that angle?

I really don't have the time to take them out but it looks good from under the car...no oil or even dirt...I tried to tighten the big bolt but the whole thing turns

Probably installed the top hat wrong. ( strut / thick washer / bushing / plate / bushing / washer / nut ) hope you fix the problem before you end up with a hole in your hood
