I didn't line up the bearing plates any way, I just put the studs through the mounting holes btw. But I was able to move the plate around I remember. Though I don't remember how easily haha.

A few days ago I replaced my rear shocks and front struts on my 2002 Toyota Rav4 with monroe parts. Now during the last 90 degrees of turning my steering wheel to the left my right strut creaks. The left side doesn't do this. I did not replace the strut bearing plates because they are only 30k...
