Quoted From Tri9SS:
when you changed the struts was there a rubber isolater that went between the top of the strut and the strut housing, the part of the vehicle you bolt it to.
No, once assembled the strut was installed up in the mounting position – metal on metal so to speak. There wasn’t anything there when I took out the original struts.
The exaust is fine, I went through the underside of the car looking for loose parts, and the bushings are fine (I changed the sway bar bushings on spec).
