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

it depends on the alignment.. get it put together then take it to an alignment shop and they'll get it put correctly

 

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.

 

28? i'd be thinking around more like 0 - 1

 

i dont know thats what it says

 

yeah you want both sides the same

 

I just did this swap and I beleive the little arrow points to the rear outside bolt on both sides. I'll take a look tonight and confirm.

 

cool thank you!

 

can someone post pix of this? i changed out my shocks a month ago and i didnt pay attention to the orientation either. maybe my arrows are worn off or something but i dont see anything resembling an arrow.

 

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