I've tighten the topnut like 5 times already. Where is the spherical bearing located? And if they dont make it, does that mean I'm SOL?

how low is yours and what is your damper set at? if you dont mine.

I will try that if I find one. If not, maybe I'll get a different set which I dont really want to cause I have other plans.

Some guy was telling me that it could be the two bushing on the rear lower arm/camber arm. I believe the struts sits on one end and camber bolt on the other.

Maybe about half inch lower than stock, got my damper set to 20 out of 32, car feels great not to stiff and not to sloppy.

you need to find a stock or another aftermarket coilover/strut and install it in place of the megan one. we are shooting at flies with bullets here trying to solve the issue on your car without being able to drive / look at it.

find a friend or find an evom local member and ask if they have extra parts, people are usually pretty generous in loaning out things for troubleshooting like this
