Now it's time to drill the fourth hole for the Maximum Motorsports caster/camber plate. Set the factory strut plate on the strut tower and rotate it 180 degrees from its original position. Align the holes in the plate with the inner edge of the factory bolt slots. Scratch or draw an outline of the new hole in the strut tower. Move the plate so the holes line up with the outer edge of the factory adjustment slots and trace the hole again. Notice that the two marks intersect (upper left).
Use a center punch to designate the intersection of the two marks. Drill a 1/8-inch pilot hole on the punch mark, and then follow up with a 13/32-inch bit. You may need to clean the edges of the new hole.
Compress the strut and move it out of the fenderwell. It won't be easy. Remove the lower strut plate.
This is the factory upper- (left) and lower- (right) strut plates. You won't need factory plates with the Maximum Motorsports version.
Remove the plastic dust boot, and then remove the bump stop found underneath (shown). This is a good time to swap in new struts.
Cut the steel clamp that holds on the top of the dust boot.
