Reinforcement strut plates w/ a little deformity

[isabura]

Hey, so ive moved from refreshing the rear to refreshing the front. Im installing some bilstein struts w eibach spring and gc camber plates. My concern is that when I removed the stock strut the plate had a little mushrooming. Is reusing these fine or are they compromised?

They should be fine.

You could straighten them but they will deform once again.
I do not think straightening is a good idea as the steel will have been ‘worked’.

Thanks I was thinking the same thing. Since end links look original and the top 18mm nut isa little rounded,and the control arm middle bushing got tears on both side I was foregoing replacement of that.
