Front strut mounting blocks
while putting on coil overs and new struts i pull off the mounting blocks and DID NOT check which way they went on. I read the FSM on which way the arrrow points but only shows for the right mount which the arrow point to the inner rear bolt.Also a search didnt give too much info. Now does the driver side also point to the inner rear or the outer front , bc the whole assy. is rotated 180* ?
Thanks

if you look at the mount, you can see that the strut isn't centered. i always put em in so that the strut is at the inside rear, which gives you the most negative camber and most caster you can get.
the difference between the max and minimum isnt much

so if you mirror the driver side to the passenger side they should be the same?
so from what the FSM says that the posistion you have it in is 28* camber and 28* caster.

its not painted, they are like cast into the rubber, so they aren't easy to spot
