Hopefully just a quickie.
I've noticed that there is quite a noticable gap at the front of the upper mounting hole for my front shock struts, probably about 1 cm . Is this normal ? The car seems to handle OK and doesn't 'clunk' at all.

i just noticed that on mine also, i guess as we both have it is normal

If it works dont touch it!!

I've just bught a Haynes book of lies for my car and in the underbonnet photo's i can also see the gap, so it must be normal.
