Lol umm.. Your strut blew through the top mount of the strut assembly and you were driving more then a 100 ft AND still sped up?!?

I don't see how the strut got through that metal plate, did you take your suspension apart and put it together wrong? Looks like it just went up with nothing stopping it but the spring that's probably F'ed now.

what is the next step in this i have no idea about sespention?

and yes the car drove fine like this i dident notice till i got home LOL.
 
Someone didn't install the rear strut mount bushings correctly. It is pretty clear by looking at the new parts that some parts were replaced.

You will need the dust boot that has a washer built into it. That is what holds everything together. Everything should be perfectly fine once fixed properly.

Is this going to strait forward or is it hard?

Thanks for the quick replys. :)

It's real easy, but you will need a strut spring compressor which can be rented from a parts store, and the missing parts.

Looks like you are missing part number 5 on that diagram. Here is a website where you can get them. https://www.mitsubishiparts.com/oe_parts_catalog.html
