Front suspension assembly question

Hi all, I'm slowly getting things together ready for taking to NJ restorations so they can put everything back together again…
My query is around the front suspension/strut assembly.
I have attached a video which describes my concern i.e should the top mount be so loose?
If you could help that would be great

Yes to much play in that top mount so the bush needs to be filed down a little as it's meant to be crushed when tightening the nut but I've never managed to crush one..

Have a read of this thread…

Ditto to the thread link.  Saves a lot of typing.
